Eh.. nice sentiments, but not quite.

The reason we don’t have relationships anymore is because we neither need nor desire them. Everything we might have once relied on a social circle for can now be bought as a service given you have the cash. Services are convienient! Services are always available when we need them, as long as your subscription includes what you need. We no longer need people, so then we quickly grew to not want them, either. REAL relationships are riddled with emotions, laughter, crying, histories, baggage, success, failure, and in general a lot of messy emotional bullshit everybody nowadays calls ‘drama’. Drama makes good television, but nobody has the patience or time, or need to tolerate it anymore. Even though we all have ‘drama’. We’ve gotten to the point of becoming compleatly impatient with what makes us humuman.

I loved finding this post — it is EXACTLY what I talk about in my upcoming book of the same title. We don’t have “relationships” any more in the truest sense…we let technology do the work for us. It’s particularly true in business and knowing how to form, develop and nurture strong relationships is a major strategic differentiator.

Excellent point. There’s a big difference between acquaintances and friends.
