A poem one of my friends sent me had this in it, thought it was pretty good.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

False. There is no reason why I should meet someone but that the particular period where he and I meet, we, but that, by the various other reasons we are there, meet accidentally and out of chance. You poem is imparting a rather idiotic view of the universe, that it was somehow ordered to my convenience, to teach me, to the detriment of actually working and being processes independent of some grand design. It becomes an egocentric universe, a universe made and tailored for me. Your poem, in fact, turns people into tools for your use, learning tools, but tools all the same, which dehumanises them. Thus, if I were to meet people for a reason, by destiny or whatever, and the universe was designed for that purpose, then that person can never become more than a tool- he serves his reason, and when his reason is exhausted, then this 'designer' deign to cast away this tool of learning, and provide another didactic tool.

some friends are in your life because you need them because you are at a certain time and place in your life. (for a reason)
some friends come into your life for a short time and then you grow apart. (a season)
some friends are in your life forever. (a lifetime)

I'm a physics major, so sorry. If it doesn't have numbers, then I cannot comprehend it.
