What would happen if a person lived alone in an isolated place? His life will surely be at risk especially from the threat of wild animals. Even his ability to speak and communicate will gradually disappear. So it is difficult for a person to be alone. This is a solid proof that we need our fellow man. Especially we need our friends.
Many people report that they have been saved from dangerous situations with the help of their friends. They even say that they can't live without them. For them that's how important the friend is in their lives. On the contrary, some people say that when they have a lot of money, they have a lot of friends but when they are broke, their friends are all gone. And unfortunately, some say that their lives are in danger because of the betrayal of their known friend. For this reason, they find it difficult to make friends or they don't even make friends anymore.
However, does it make sense that we stop building good relationships with others like making friends because of these experiences? Absolutely not. Some may have made a mistake in choosing a person to be friends with, but that is not a good reason to stop making friends. In fact, there is a friend who is more loyal than a brother in flesh and blood. That's the reason that as parents we train and aim for our child to be friendly.
My fellow Hivers I will share with you the funny experiences of our four-year-old son. We trained him to be friendly. After all, he is known in our community as a friendly boy. When he sees a child, adult or old, he usually greets and say "Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon," depending on the time. But we are amazed because the animals are included in his friendliness. When he sees a goat he says "Hi Goat". The goat will respond with "meeeee." If he sees a cow he will say "Hi Cow." And the cow responds with "moooo."
But wait,there's more. He made a special friendship with our neighbor's calf. He had a lot of fun playing with that lovable creature. My wife and I also had fun watching them play. Sometimes it is early in the morning when the calf comes to our gate looking for our four-year-old son and wants to play.
It can be seen here in the picture how close they are. We have seen that our son is happier when he has many friends. We have learned that friendship contributes to the happiness of an individual. But despite the benefits of friendship, we are teaching our child to be selective about who he make friends with. Why?
A friend can really influence him. If he chooses those who have bad personalities, certainly they will be a bad influence and can damage my son's reputation and lead to misfortune. Therefore, if there are situations in our lives that make us the victim or taken advantage of by an unreal friend, don't be discouraged. Just go on and be wise in choosing until you find the true friend you can rely on.
My dear Hivers, that's all for this blog. Thank you for your support and taking time to read this article .
