My Friendliness And My Friends...

A faithful man will slightly feel or not even be lonely for so long, he surely is on demand that if the “author of reality” put a mark on him indicating that he is a faithful man, we would make him the leader of the world. This is what everyone wants to see in anyone he or she will find and call friend; a faithful person he or she can trust; a leader.

A friend told me that he wishes he had friends like mine and I told him,
"If you want a good friend, make sure you can see a ‘good friend’ in yourself. It's only when you are confident that you’re a good friend that people, good people, are attracted to you."

If you become a good friend, a trustable friend, you'll be a friend to friends of your friends, and they'll trust you like or even more than they trust your friends – who knew them before you and introduced them to you or you to them.

You see, it's not easy for a friend, any friend, to introduce you to his or her friends as a good friend and ask them to trust you just as much as he or she trusts you... or, and introduce you as a very faithful, trust worthy, friend... someone he or she can relay on. It's not easy at all, that’s why many times we are not known to friends of our friends.

Giving a friend a description of a trustable friend before friends means you are ready to take on the blame in case that friend does anything funny. And, this is what many of us can’t do for the people we call friends; we know them, we know who they are and what they do or can do, so we can risk our integrity and other friendship ties by convincing other people [friends] to trust them…

This precisely explains the reason why many friends keep their friends [good friends or friends that matter] to themselves. They simply fear that introducing them to some of their friends may compromise their treasured friendship.

A good friend encourages his or her friends to introduce him or her to their friends.

A good friend attracts trust from anyone around him.

A good friend attracts good friends.

A good friend is a good friend indeed.

Friends... Friends...

It's not any easy to understand the mysteries of friendship, but those with a devoted heart of being good friends have really got a clue or clues about this comprehensive subject.
Sometimes it seems greater than all the relationships we are connected to even by blood, while sometimes we are convinced by the saying "blood is thicker than water" as said or even known by many.

A friend told me that to get a good friend one has to sacrifice a lot, but somehow I felt this was not enough to describe the "friendship thing". In my opinion, "to keep a friend is a great sacrifice".
One sometimes needs something more than a "sorry", "Am praying that you'll make it..." or so just to keep a friend. Though easy to find, it's really true that keeping a friend isn't as easy, it's indeed expensive!

While I was young, I thought those who I treasured most were the people that will always be there, but experience has disapproved my thoughts... Today I know that I don't have to work as hard just to make sure I keep a friend... after all, who's working that hard to keep me around him or her? I just live my life within my means, help or encourage when I can, and stay silent when all fails.

But even still, nothing has given me much pleasure through the years as those words of appreciation comes from friends thanking me for being such a good friend... Their sincere words have many times encouraged me more than the thousands of efforts they make just to pay back every single effort I have made to see them through.

I love the company of friends... but be careful; sometimes their feelings and intensions toward you are not real...

Like Eggs...

Friends are like eggs, sit on them well by doing them right; treating them well, and they'll hatch into the good things you always want them to be.
It's true that friends can be really good, though the ones we trust most have always been the people that disappoint us the most... they have always become the people that are full of betrayals.

But this is no excuse for not treating friends well. They deserve justice from you...
