The True Colors Of Friends and Enemies...
What exactly is a friend? What qualities does a friend portray that makes you think and feel that they really do value the relationship that they have with you? These are questions that everyone should ask themselves about their friends. In life we all are blessed with people that we surround ourselves with and call our friends, but when you really get to the core of the relationship are they a friend?
In my opinion a true friend exemplifies these specific qualities-
1. They are there for you.
2. They don't lie to you.
3. They are considerate of you.
4. They don't put you in awkward situations.
5. They respect you and your beliefs, though they may differ in theirs.
These simple, but important aspects are what make up a true friend.
As I grow older and experience people and being to see them for who they really are I am becoming less and less able to trust people and to respect people. I can't have a friend who I don't respect or trust. Because then it just becomes an awkward situation and as I stated above, a true friend doesn't put you in awkward situations.
People who consider others to be their friends need to seriously examine exactly what their relationship consists of and whether or not that person is worthy of a friendship like that. You can consider yourself lucky if you have one good friend in your lifetime and if you have more than that somewhere along the line you are going to see the true colors of people and this will allow you to determine whether or not they are in fact a friend. Unfortunately society has instilled this sense of urgency to find friends and to become part of something when most people in society have no idea who the hell they really are, let alone who their friends really are.
Find yourself and you will find your friends.
