Life is about testing times and also celebrations. The mind is a guide to our happiness and to be a good human being should be our ambition. But there are pressures that mount up as the bar is high today on performance, life style, knowledge seeking and enjoying privileges. This truth about material life is more projected in the youth and one can easily spot a child showing its awareness with the plethora of toys he or she possess. It is a life of gadgets, I pods and electronic communication which crosses barriers and distances.
There are wayfarers in life whom we cross while traveling through life´s path. Some culminate in life-long friendships and others stay as acquaintances. Most times we are attracted to a person because of his qualities and his opinion. If the opinion matches with that of ours we conclude a similarity in the personality and the friendship progresses. People we meet come from different family and educational backgrounds. Here stems the difference in opinion and misunderstandings.
True friendship is not always a person who encourages you with all your thoughts. A person echoing your decisions cannot be a true friend. A true friend acknowledges and respects your feelings and opinions, yet maintains his or her own stand. This is a personality attribute and friendship is also about compromise. However prudence has to be observed, by noticing wrong influences through a person with regard to bringing about negative changes in your personality. A true friend is a person who compliments your vocabulary and also gently suggests you to go for a makeover. This is for your own good and absorbing positive recommendations and judging your personal comfort is important.
As an infant is brought to life, it automatically latches to his mother for support. The comfort zone lasts till the child slowly gets independent. Though a mother is full of appreciation for the child´s independent personality, there is also the feeling stemming inside her that the child is no more in control of her. This results in teenage and other contrasting opinions. This position is replicated while spotting a true friend. If you love a particular music album your friend has every right to hold allegiance to another artist.
In times of low, or whenever you feel confused calling a friend comes naturally.
You look for support and guidance. Most times the opinion of your friend is generated as your decision but heavy relying on an assertive friend will break your confidence. Confiding to a friend about your problems, sharing the joy of your promotion, mentioning a tiff in the family is done to a friend who is a good listener. True friendship is about listening and respecting. A true friend tides with you through rough waters holding the oars that leads both of you towards the shore.
