A buddy is someone who is standing next to me whom I assume knows what they are doing. They are carrying me. Then I learn otherwise.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n We all need a buddy. We all need someone standing next to us for support, advice, know how, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One problem with having a buddy in many situations is that I assume that anyone standing next to me fulfills the definition and capabilities of this definition of a buddy. I sure am glad they are there with me. Otherwise, I would be lost. When something happens, they will know what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then I discover that the situation and the person standing next to me don\u2019t fit my ideals. They don\u2019t know what they are doing here and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is worse, I learn that they have applied the definition of \u201dbuddy\u201d to me and are awaiting my knowledge to step forward and handle the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are both left standing next to each other waiting for the other to do something useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yikes! This doesn\u2019t work. Well, it shouldn\u2019t work, but it does work the great majority of the time. Just having someone stand next to me facing the same direction I am facing makes all the difference for me. Just me standing next to the other person and facing the same direction they are facing makes all the difference for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I find it odd how this works. I find it \u201dodd-er\u201d that this works a great majority of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I must remember to bring a buddy with me and not wander away from that buddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Dwayne Phillips A buddy is someone who is standing next to me whom I assume knows what they are doing.
