@Beatbox34 I see many acts that suggest something different to me, but that only came when I started involving myself more and more with elements going on in my community. The expression, it takes a community to raise a child hold so much meaning if you unpack the expression.

@SW-User There are very good examples of this to be honest even if it rare.
I personally have not seen that. Growing up, I've had friends or people around me only when they needed something from me. Some needed support of some sort and when they get what they want, they leave. I have seen this time and time again so I know how it is.

@Beatbox34 I understand. There is likely someone out there that feels that way about you (and this is not a measurement of character as I don't know you). I've only learned to respect and love, they came into my life to teach me something and if I could help them in any way then what I asked for of them is complete.
