i've learnt these days that we can't always get what we expect out of people. but that's alright, simply because there's only so much one can offer. besides, he/she may be already trying their best, and in the first place, we shouldn't expect too much anyway. therein lies the awesomeness of God who consciously bless me with friends who complement each other. say for example, if i can't get that kind of response i want from A, i knew i would get it from B. and this is the same thing for the reverse case, if i knew A is better than B in a particular aspect, i would seek help from A. so, i feel that i have a very comprehensive friendship with people of unique characters, but when put together, it's a very rewarding experience for myself because they are all interlinked in the grander scheme of things.
