Meeting Old Friends

They say wine tastes better with age; is it the same with friends?

Met an old buddy after many years today. Time changes people. What remians constant are our emotions. There are lots of things to say.

Are our times different than those of people behind us, I've never thought so. But body language teaches us a lot. Not just this mate but an another one too - after having spent some time in an economically developed nation didn't hug front on. Does money make us less sure about those around us. It certainly does.

Is there a middle path as suggested by the Buddha? Personally I think its not possible bcoz we either progress or regress. If we make more money we move away from relationships and emotions and vice versa. Would like to meet the friend who taught me the middle path :
