Our human relationships -- our kin and families, our spouses and
children, our business and work associates, our neighbors, and now our
internet connections, are all part of a web of connections that we must
constantly nurture and build and take care of. It is our garden.
What to do about weeds? Well here I think the garden metaphor
fails. "What God has put together let no man tear apart." The
scripture is usually applied to marriage, but the reality is it applies
to all our relationships, and most especially to our friendships. To be
sure once we get to know someone well we see their faults that may not
have been as visible when we first met, but what do you expect? No one
is perfect and we must worry about our own faults and not about those of
others, and be forgiving, albeit wise about people.
