I have heard it said "That good friends are hard to find"! If this is true then the person who made this statement didn't have the friends I do.
Speaking of the friends I do have, I tend to sometimes wonder , how do we draw that definitive line that makes such a distinction.
So here's what I do,, I feel out people in a way they wouldn't recognize, for me trust and loyalty is of prime importance. I do not subscribe to the whims and fancy of a person for a "shot of boost my ego", I am that person who will be plain and straight with you and will let you know when you have messed up or crossed the line. I am the same one who will listen to your pitiful sob stories of only lord knows what and if you need/want or ask my advice I will tell you, while consoling you at the same time.
It seems to me lately people are doing the..*if you are nice to me then I will be nice to you*. Forget it!!! where did you learn such principles and values? , not from the Bible (maybe your parents) because they lack the same basic skills of what true friendship, trust and loyalty is all about! Well now! Its not to late to learn them. Time and time again people want a friend but aren't willing to *Be* a friend..
Herein lays the principle..Learn how to be a friend then , you will attract great friends.
All that being said the end of the matter is this; Show yourself worthy and be genuine and others will love and respect you for who you are. Then , you may/will form long and lasting lifetime friendships, people who will be there for you through thick and thin,good and bad.
What kind of friend do your friends say you are?
Symswifey.
