Thoughts about Friendship

I have been thinking about friends .... what is a true friend?
To me a true friend is a men or a women which we can tell anything and they don´t judge us.

And they don´t talk bad things behind our back because they are jealous.
A true friend is happy for us when we having success, and support us when we need it, and they are also honest when we are on slippery ice.
But they should also be able to forgive each other if any trespasses took place, and try to not make the same mistake again.
It takes two to tango and everyone has to admit to themself what they did and then think:
What can I do to bring more love into the realtionship?

It is about give and recieve, not only give or not only recieve.
A true friend can share our burden and also our joy.
Sharing is the key :-)

A poem:

Cherished Friends

God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes,
Or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship,
Unselfish... lasting... true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With cherished friends... like you!

Quotes about friendship :

I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred
— that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. . . .
If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe-

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
- Walter Winchell-

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
- Buddha-
A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
- Fr. Jerome Cummings-

Along with trustworthiness, consistency is the thing to look for when you surround yourself with people who can help you on your quest.
