I don't think they are doing it for us. They are doing it to reduce the guilt/conflict they are fighting.

And the motion passes. Agreed all around.
Let's see...in my group of true friends - some lifelong - how many have abandoned me? Proven that their word, promise, commitment was worthless? Accused me of vile things? Attempted to turn loved ones against me? Systematically broken dozens of agreements? Screwed me financially?
That would be ...none!
And despite how that sounds, I'm not bitter about it. It's just a fact, just my stance.
"Let's be friends"?
Give me a friggin' break!
