FRIENDS
The first thing that comes to my mind when talking about friends is how easily most people leave most freinships. You often hear many excuses of bad habits and betrayal as the reasons behind these separations. Most are quick to call friends snakes and Traitors and advice others not to trust anyone. In reality we feel our friends don't want any good for us or don't want us to progress, therefore it leads to mental competition and when the slightest flaw is sighted we quickly capitalize on it by using it as a reason for separation.Now don't get me wrong, there are people with bad motives who seek perhaps special benefits therefore leading to pretense and lies but do we often look at ourselves both internally and externally? I mean it's good to keep good company and good friends who help you grow, Just like our parents always advice; 'Any friend who isn't adding to your life positively should be gotten rid of. '
So if everyone gets rid of their bad friends and all seek good ones, who helps the bad ones grow?
We should understand that we ourselves are not without flaws and our Friends just like us are human beings and also have these flaws also, sometimes our friends posses more of these flaws than us, but is abandoning them the best option?
How about we give each other a chance and stick with ourselves through thick or thin, lets return the word FRIENDSHIP from just a tittle back to a bond. Let's remember the old saying of 'No man is an island.'
Wikipedia defines friendship as a relationship of mutual affection between people.[1]Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association. Friendship has been studied in academic fields such as communication, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and philosophy. Various academic theories of friendship have been proposed, including social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.
So ultimately Friends are part of the journey and one way or the other, Good or bad, we learn from them.
