Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be *Week 185, Edition 01* of our Weekly Featured Content.
Made With Canva
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun that we did not want it to end. We are currently on the first topic for this week, which is “CIRCLE OF PAIN”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “FRIENDSHIPS”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community sharing their thoughts on friendships and the lengths they were willing to go to maintain it, especially when there were major differences in beliefs and ideals.
We got to see how many people considered certain things as red flags and how it would greatly impact their lives and who they choose to share it with. They shared with us how they came about tolerating people and what could possibly be the final straw that would make them cut people off eventually. It was an enlightening topic, indeed.

> For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w184e3; tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below. 
[THE BOUNDARIES OF FRIENDSHIP: WHEN TO HOLD ON AND WHEN TO LET GO](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@princessbusayo/the-boundaries-of-friendship-when) by @princessbusayo
*This author told us that friendships last longer when there is mutual respect between all parties involved. And many times, boundaries are necessary for respect to exist. She believes that, indeed, friendships can be ended as a result of a difference in beliefs. Doing so might not be an act of hostility, but just a necessity for peace to reign.*
[THE TOLERANCE TRESHOLD](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@nhaji01/the-tolerance-threshold-jz5) by @nhaji01
*For this author, she admits that there is only so much a person can endure from friends, and as a result, she can’t just ignore certain things that they may end up saying to her. A difference in ideals and beliefs would very much be a reason to end the friendship because in the long run, being tolerant doesn’t do her any favours.*
[BUILDING ON STONES](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@ladyaryastark/building-on-stones-enes) by @ladyaryastark *For this author, she told us to be careful of the friends we choose because it was easy to be influenced by them, whether we realize it or not. We never really know who our friends are because most of the time, only the worst situations bring out the best in them. Sadly though, it’s usually too late.*
