I don't believe the loss of friendship is neccessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it is a healthy thing. But mostly, it is, I think, a necessary thing. We can't hold onto people or things. We can't grow, until we figure out how to let go.
Yeah - it's like a lot of things... To be living is to undergo change over time. And things either change and adapt, or they fade and maybe die. That's sometimes just the nature of the beast.
And yeah - like you say - we might not always be able to categorize. I don't know enough men or enough women that I can generalize how they view friendships. And maybe it's true - but it seems like such and individual thing that... even if the generalization was correct I don't know that I could use it in the specific cases that I know...
Although, me, I'm more along the case of the generalization the author stated.
