Difficult Analogies

"It takes months to find a customer, seconds to loose one."
I had read this on a poster in office.
After an incident involving rough patches in a friendship, I thought of lines like "It takes months to make a friendship, seconds to break it."

Practically too, I thought it held true for me. But interestingly, I had to change these lines after the sequence of events that occurred.

This is what I found, concluded and it is rational too.
"It takes months to make a friendship, and months to break it."
You may think it is broken, but you cannot forget some memories easily. It definitely happens over the period of time. There can be a lot of things like misunderstandings due to lack of communication, lack of faith which lead to trouble in relationships.

If you intend to abandon something which took a lot of time and effort to develop, then you are insulting it. You are destroying your own efforts by some thoughtless acts. Of course accidents occur, but then you should make an effort to rebuild the things. You don't need to start over from scratch, so it should be easier.

And the friendships which fall apart with single events are not sound. They are not strong enough and are entitled to this fate.

Doesn't the adversities have the potential to strengthen the bond of friendship rather than breaking it?
