Friendship is one of the major thing that I know that I need to survive this wicked world. But that will be trusted friendship. If one enters a kind of friendship that can't be trusted, it can actually destroy his or her life.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE NEED FRIENDS TO BE HAPPY HERE?
Of course no forest will survive with only one tree in it. It needs a lot of trees to make a good forest. For us to survive we need good people around us. But to someone who is reading this right now and don't need friends around may not be good with friends. I know of someone who don't care about others. You hardly see him with friends. He is not the social type. All he cares is just about himself and that's all. But for someone like myself who don't want to live alone in this world, I need good friends around me. Quality ones at that. What do I mean by quality ones? There are friends that we don't need. Friends that will end up leading us to a bad lifestyle. Friends that will bring us down by all means. I watched a clip last night in YouTube where a friend destroyed the reputation of her friend just because she is jealous. She took her friends name to different native doctors to kill her and according to her, her friend refused to die. She also planted money that belongs to their MD in the drawer of that her friend so that her friend will look like a criminal. That was what lead to the termination of her work and since then her friend has been jobless. It was also revealed that it was that same friend that she made jobless that helped her get the said job. How wicked some friends can be? But thank God because that her friend started fasting and prayer which made this her evil friend to become uncomfortable till she came out to confess. This world is actually wicked when you have the wrong people around you.
That is the more reason why we need only good and reasonable friends around us. We don't need negative vibes that will bring us down. Evil companion corrupt good manners, I believe that we are all familiar with this saying and it has proven to be true.
WHAT WILL A LIFE WITHOUT GOOD FRIENDS BE?
How can one be told to live alone all by himself? Is not possible. No one will survive that kind of life. Even the introvert still needs someone around at least to share some burdens once in a while. I know that it is not too easy to get good friends, but when we finally get one we will be happy we did. Maybe I should share some criteria for selecting good friends.
CRITERIA FOR SELECTING GOOD FRIENDS
- Some who thinks or see things the same way I see it. This is one of the qualities I place before accepting anyone as my close friend.
- Trustworthy: This is another special quality that I must see in anyone that I must trust and call my friend. Because my friend must be my confidant.
- One who can watch my back: Hmmm! This is even the most serious point for me. I don't think that I can manage someone as my friend if he can't watch my back. I should be able to feel secured around such person and if at any moment I don't get this qualities I will run away for my dear life. Hahaha 😂. I still love myself more than any other person and that is why I will run away when I don't feel safe around that friend.
