It can happen that you stop caring about a friend for whom you had a lot of affection, and you tend then to think it is because they have changed: they have lost something of what made you like them. Actually, it may be you who have lost an element that allowed you to appreciate them.
When you are sincere and prompted by the desire to improve yourself, you see other peoples' light and wisdom. But when you have other interests, when you become lazy and neglect your spiritual exercises, you no longer see other people in the same light.
So you have to be somewhat perceptive to understand the reason for the changes you think you see around you. Very often, you claim that other people are no longer what they once were, but first you should look at yourself, and you may discover that the changes that have taken place are in you.
