Thinking
Over the last few days, other than being angry, I have been spending time thinking. Rebelbrat asked me what about so here goes.
Well I’ve been thinking about my life and friends and relationships. I think that the definition of a friend is someone who always wants what is best for you. They have sympathy for you and support you in everything you do. Of course it’s a two way thing. You need to return the same unconditional support to them.
When I think about the few people in my life I am close to I can see these things.
1/ My friends show me trust. When I say something they don’t question it or try to find some hidden intention in my words.
2/ They respect what I think even if they don’t agree with me sometimes. But they will always have a high regard for how I think and feel.
3/ Friends will show me unconditional acceptance. They will care about what is best for me no matter what. If they disagree with me they will still totally accept and support me in everything.
4/ This is the biggy for me. Friends support me, show an interest, and want what is best for me in every area of my life even if it doesn’t interest them directly.
It is interesting that when friends do this for you - you naturally return the same trust, respect, acceptance, and support to them. You do it without thinking. But what happens if you are the only one person is doing these things. Sooner or later your friendship will die away. After all what is the point of a freindship if you get little or nothing from it.
