Friendship, why do we keep friends around us? There are good and bad friends at the same time. Sometimes we don’t know who is who. We are very close and attached to them. We can’t just do without them. We share our good and sad experience with them. We expose our dirty little secret to them. We go to the extra mile to even call them family. We share things, hang out, eat together, play, fight each other, have lot of memories with one another. They are like our best buddies ever. Every thing we do or plan to do, we must involve them. If the people who knows us don’t see us together again, they must ask; what the problem is? Friends even fight for us when we are in trouble, they can save us from destruction coming close to us. They advise us, they warn us, they even stop us from entering into fire. Some of these friends are the best ever, sent from heaven to guide us as our guiding angel from God and we don’t even know. They are caring and accommodating. They are very important in our lives.
But, do we know who truly our friends Are? The back stabbing ones, the pretenders, the ones who wants to collect and never cares to even give you at all, friends who will deceive you, people who lie to you, people who can do the worst things to you and you still call them friends. You don’t know their true colors. We need to be careful. We need to watch the kind of friends we make. Don’t choose friends who will lead you astray. Friends who don’t put your interest, they feel it doesn’t matter.. friends who are selfish and sting and wicked too. Don’t choose friends because of what they have or their status, what they wear, the cars they drive, the big amount of money in their account. Friends should not be based on that. Some friends will leave you when everything is gone forever. Don’t impress the other, claiming what you are not, trying to be drawn to them all because you want to be friends with them, it’s not by force my dear. Some Friends are really bad people.
Try to follow the right people who can make your life better, people who can help you be great in the society. People who won’t look down on you. It’s not a must to have friends. You can stay solo. Some friends could be trouble, big one for that matter. Mix up with correct people. Don’t choose friends because of what you will gain. Don’t look down on anyone. Anyone can be a good friend to you. No one knows how tomorrow will be. Friendship should be based on the good. Friendship should add value to your life, it should take you higher. Your mum, dad, siblings, uncle, aunty can be your true friend. Friendship shouldn’t bring you a bad name but a good name when friends are together. They should be known for the right thing and not the worst things ever. You can even marry your friend. Friendship brings love . It brings unity, good tidings, goodness, Favour, higher level, it brings success, marriage, wealth, good health. As friends, you are bonded by love.
If you feel you are not comfortable anymore being friends with that person, you can try and change the person for good to your own lifestyle, but if the changes are not effective, please flee from such a person. Friendship shouldn’t choke you up. Friendship should also stand, if that friend of your is what you want in your life for good, hold on to it. Try not to let it go. You don’t meet good people everyday.
As usual in my own words, your best friend is God, the true best friend you can have. He is always there. He will lead you to the right path. You can call him anytime and he will answer. He is a good friend. I love him as my friend forever. You too choose as your best friend, he is ready to receive all of us together.
Friendship is very critical, it is also not something you jump into, we are bound to make mistake. Before you can call someone your friend, you must have done some homework by searching, who are they, are they good or bad, why will choose them as my friend, what will I benefit or gain, what is so special about them. Will they be a big mistake in my life. I have to choose wisely. Friendship is not also a do or die affair. Sometimes it is good to stay on your own so that trouble won’t come to you at all. Make a good decision in choosing your friends.
