There are many times we choose our friends for either wrong or right reasons, if we choose for the right reasons and everything goes right, we are lucky. If we choose for the right reasons and everything goes wrong along the way I guess its just a pity, either something went wrong or the reasons we thought were right were actually wrong. And if we choose our friends for wrong reasons we should not be surprised if everything goes wrong. So the first question one should ask when making friends or choosing friends is "why?"
I'm not an expert at friendship but from my observation and little experience I can say friendship entails a few things namely; love, care, respect and sincerity. sometimes we just make friends there is no special introduction or something but I think along the line we should know our reasons for the friendship.
from my observation there are different types of friends; there are some that are always there for you in every situation and really fun to be with, always keep in touch blah blah... such friends can be seen as the good ones. There are some friends who are also fun to be with but are not really present in the bad times... they can be seen as opportunists where they are only friends for what they can benefit, ( no benefit = no friendship). There are also some that are cool and all but one comes to realise along the line that nothing good is coming out of the friendship, instead of helping each other to move forward and become better they pull each other down and become worse, I think this is the wrongest type of friendship. There are also some friends who seem really loyal but are sensitive and take little things seriously so take every aspect of friendship serious, such friends are good ones but they should not forget friendship is not a do or die affair.So the Moral of the story is a true friend is one who can stand the test of time, both the good and bad times,
If you cannot be yourself amongst your friends then that is not friendship.
Finally I believe with 20 good friends, 20 children CAN play for 20 years.
I think that friendship is a beautiful thing. Especially when your friends know you and accept you for who you are, your character, and your prospect.
ReplyDeleteSome believe in having many friends, but its really not about the number. Its about the many, or few who make you feel Needed, loved and appreciated, just like the Author has rightly said.

"Finally I believe with 20 good friends, 20 children CAN play for 20 years". That hit home for me. Nice
