Friendship




“Best friends forever”. Many people use this phrase, but often times it is not meant. I have learned that true friends or best friends are hard to come by. It is often easier to make enemies than it is to make friends. Friendship is a blessing that should not be taken for granted.

In the first place, people enjoy the companionship of others. Many people want someone to confide in, possibly seek advice from, or to gain knowledge from. Some friends like to travel together or go on outings. Others like to seek a friend to enjoy the ride of life with. And surprisingly enough, some are not looking for friends at all.

Finding a true friend may be the most difficult thing to do. A lot of people will pretend to be a true friend just to get something from you. Some people want you to be there for them, but they may be out of reach when you need a helping hand. A true friend will not hesitate to help their confidant.

Some characteristics to look for in a friend are honesty, loyalty, forgiving, and outgoing. Different people prefer different types of friends though. Some people prefer to have friends with common interests and others prefer a more diverse group of friends. Whichever types of friends you choose make sure that you keep them around as long as possible.

Finally, they key to keeping a friend is treating them the way you want to be treated. Listen to you friends when they have problems. Help them when they are in need. Demonstrate random acts of kindness towards them. This will ensure that you never lose your true friend.
