If a new friend thinks you should replace your old friends with new ones by meeting new friends, they're not much of a friend, which makes you wonder why they keep on
pretending to be. The same goes for
anything new, a new guard, a new order, a new normal, or a new world. The old dysfunctional world was good enough (real enough) as it was, and may never be as good as it was again (meanwhile people that want to benefit off a "new normal" such as a new guard try and tell you that things will be better at the end of the tunnel they put everybody in as a
social experiment, all to lock down everybody's town with lies).
New friends are people you haven't known a long time, therefore you have no reason to trust anybody that tries to call themself your new friends. Anybody can pretend to be your friend, some can do it for years, so why would anybody want to replace the old with the new, whether it be friends or
anything else in life? Because somebody else
convinced them (
manipulated them into) thinking it was a good idea?
