I used to think that time and distance were the root causes of estrangement. Upon further pondering I’ve come to the conclusion that fundamentally, it is the lack of communication (or the lack of desire to maintain an open communication). Time and distance can definitely attribute to the lack of communication but by themselves, they do not cause people to become estranged. Two poeple can stay connected even with infrequent communication as long as there is a desire on both sides to maintain the connection. Whether it be a snail mail every month or two, or just thinking about eachother and feeling eachother’s presence. At the root of it, the desire to stay connected will find a way to be connected. But in the end, it takes both parties to want to maintain the connection.
