Thoughts of your President.
Events of the past weeks made me wonder how individuals form friendships.
Some of the people I know have clearly developed friendships through shared or similar experiences or backgrounds. I’m certainly not referring to acquaintances, or being a Facebook friend.
I have been surprised to discover that people I thought, over many Years and for what ever reason were friends, only tolerated each other. For external appearances. Quelle horreur! Only, only apparent (at least to me) when one of them went to God’s Morning, or Dubbo.
We all know that ‘trying’ to be friends is doomed. It is just a matter of whether you are cast in the rôle of the doomer or the doomee.😂.
To my greatest delight someone once decided he’d be my friend. Never said anything, just became. I wish I knew why. No, I don’t.
Now, it is a fact companies rely on managed tolerance during their working day to ensure a positive outcome. Trust me, I learned it at Uni. NSW. I have the Certificate. 
If one is to believe the papers, it is a wonder some organisations function at all. Perhaps they take a leaf from the respect the uniform approach of the military. Maybe it is luck.
We ourselves as Rotarians are not a different section of society; a different species. So how is it that Rotary globally ‘works’ let alone a branch?
Maybe, to quote my Friend “It is what it is”.
