Hello readers, I am sorry for the break in transmission but hey! I am back. Today I will be focusing on what friendships can do to a person either positively or negatively. Okay, as usual, this will be short.
Who is a friend? The bible book of proverbs says (not that I am trying to get all religious though) that a friend is someone sticking closer than a brother. A friend is any person who keeps company and shares some moments of your life with you(my definition).
Undeniably, friends form an important part of your life whether you agree or not. They influence your life for good or bad ,directly or indirectly. Just like an absorbent material, people pick up habits from their surroundings before they are even aware of it! This is why picking a friend should be done with caution.
To illustrate, when you are friends with people who do good, you are motivated to do likewise but when friends do bad things, if you are not careful you may begin to under estimate the level of their badness because you love them. Before you know it, you are already doing such things!
Before I leave you , I would want you to think deeply about these traits of an ideal friend and ask if your friends possess them and if you also do
1. Forgiving
Always forgive when people err
2. Respectful
Never talk disrespectfully or insultingly to a friend because you think they won't take it personal.
3.Apologize
Always, I mean always apologize to your friends. Do not assume that your friends will always forgive you because they love you. Remember, friendship does not come with an insurance againt hurt. Fix things when you hurt a friend by apologizing
4. Encourage
Never bring your friends down with bad words. See the good in them and spur them to success
5. Support
Trust me, we all need somebody to have our backs and that is why a real friend will always be there.
Please note that there is no such thing as a perfect friend. Do not go about breaking friendships because they lack one of the qualities here listed. Just kidding. But hey! Make sure you share this post with a friend. Friends , do not forget to watch the news too or read. Many things are happening in the world I tell you. Good friends stay updated :)
PS: Please do not join the ongoing trend of nude picture takers. I love you all!!!
