When I watch a sports game, I normally pick a side to cheer for. It is normally the underdog if I do not know a single player. However, if they lose, it does not really matter since there was not really an emotional involvement in the first place.
What happens though when friends or marriages break up? Am I supposed to pick a side? Do I have to choose who is nearer and dearer to me? What happens to all the good memories we all had together? Do I drop him or her because it becomes uncomfortable for the other person? Perhaps it is just wishful thinking that my friendship with one should have nothing to do with the other. The intent is not to hurt one party by reaching out to the other one.
Sometimes our choices are made for us. It does not make it easier, but we deal with it because of ties that bind. I hope that there will eventually come a time when "this too, shall pass."
