One of the most important and valuable thing, here on Earth, is FRIENDSHIP.
For the past decades it's been getting worse and worse in true meaning of it, and as a result we lost many potential friends. That's why many people now try to picture themselves for advertising others to their personality so that others want to be with him/her and share the moments of his/her life. If a person doesn't have good friends, he goes into his shell and satisfied with daily activities (works, purposes etc.) only, and can't enjoy fully his life, let alone share his joy or sorrows with others who can get him and lift him up.
I think, (I choose basically by it whom to add to my list of friends;) )
Friend is the person who knows all about you but still like you,
wish you good things that would be profitable for you whole, not using you as a tool for his prosperity!!!
Friend will never judge you if you fail just for making a splash over you,
he would say you the truth but with sympathy,
he will sacrifice almost all things he has, just for you as a friend of him, (if you really need it! - for free!!!)
the first person to come with help in the eleventh hour,
the person who have empathy in bad mood or problems with soul and support his friend,
the person who never lay his friend open just for his ass's safety as we can observe at workplaces,
(that's why I think there can not be true friendship at work, at least in vertical hierarchy, - just colleagues, in general
I wish it would be wrong statement, but it's upsetting - the facts I face say so...)
Friend is always open with you, you know him, he knows you well too. There's no bad attitude inside with clever and beautiful words passed through mind-filter to tounge just for show with hypocricy... Hate this one!
With a friend you are who you really are, open-hearted.
True friendship is based on trust as a both-way traffic =)
I really have very, very, very, very few of that kinda friends, but thanks God, I've got them!!!
I don't know how they endures me with my bad character and flexible mood, but I love them as I can...
(Funny thing, they are older me in ages and mind - teaching me lot of things and principles of life, TNX them for it!!!)
In the days of my trouble my friends lift me up, that's a true blessing from God, to have a good friend and love him/her - keeping the friendship as a private treasure... I wish you all have one!!!
In conclusion I want to add a verse from Holy Bible, the actual one, from many centuries ago till now:
"A FRIEND LOVES at ALL TIMES" (Proverbs17:17)*
*Love
- is patient
- is kind
- is not jealous
- doesn't brag
- is not arrogant
- doesn't act unbecomingly
- doesn't seek its own
- is not provoked
- doesn't take into account a wrong suffered
- doesn't rejoyce in unrighteousness
- rejoyces with the truth
- bears all things
- believes all things
- hopes all things
- endures all things
TRUE LOVE NEVER FAILS!!!
I know that's really hard to follow, but it's reachable step by step and we'd all tend to it if we wanna have that...
