There are really no specific rules on being a member of our club. Well, ever since summer, there has been no restrictions whatsoever into entering and being a member of the group. We do not choose who our friends are. We just simply accept, and we transform them into people who would be able to blend into the simple lifestyles of each and everyone of us. The person must learn to adjust to the group's needs and way of life. It is not always a good life, and a member must be able to cope with the challenges the group continuously faces.
Another factor would be his definition of friendship. We do not want people to just be using us. A user-friendly friend doesn't exist in our group's vocabulary. We all live in a symbiotic relationship, one benifiting the other in one way or another. We want people to realize that friendship is no laughing matter. It is something that should be taken seriously. A factor on why our group lasts for so long is because we never fail to understand one another. Understanding is a very important key in the group. There are a lot of other things that needs to be considered, but you get to learn them when you become a part of it.
Once you are inside the group, a part of the circle, you should enjoy the benefits of being a member. There is absolute equality among its members, and a harmonious relationship prevails. It seems impossible, or INVALID, that a member, once part of the group, wishes to disband and seek friendship in another group. We are not telling that you should only stay in the FFC, NO. We alllow members to join other friends if they have to, enjoy their company like he enjoys our company in the FFC. We are not selfish. If one wishes to mingle with another, by all means, we will not stop you. We just wish, that when we need you, you will be there, ready to support us and help us in the best way you can. Well, there are a lot of other things that we wish one could perform, but it will be totally unfair if one really decides to leave the group.
In cases wherein one decides to leave the group, he must be able to give a VALID and ACCEPTABLE reason before he finally leaves the group. It sounds weird for us to be so hard headed in people leaving, not because we are afraid of lowering down the number of the group, but because without that person, the group is incomplete. It will not function as it was, and will never function as it is. Each person is a very important factor. That should be stressed. In extreme cases, the group may totally disband with the absence of a very influential person.
It is therefore clear, that the membership rights of the group have no definite doctrines to follow. It is enough that one says he agrees to be friends with us, in the best way he can. He should learn to mingle and afford to suit himself to the different lifestyles we have. Learn to bear with the problems and face head to head, the challenges of life. If he is able to perform all these, well, WELCOME TO THE GROUP.
