BEWARE OF SO CALLED 'FRIENDS' - THIS IS A RANT!!!!!
A lot is going on in the world. These times are not funny. We all have to be careful on the kinds of people we keep around us because looks can be deceiving.
In this generation, we are quick to call people our friends. What qualifies a person to be called a friend? This is a question that we should ask ourselves.
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, A friend is a person who has a strong liking for and trust in another person. Another definition I found is that a friend is a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations.
Please let us pay attention to the key words in these definitions : strong liking, trust, bond and mutual affection. If you have any 'friend' around you who those not fit into these categories, please cut them off.
Let us be careful in selecting people we keep around us. Be watchful, because at the end of the day, a person who talks shit about you behind your back and even a person who 'jokingly' tells you shit to your face can not be trusted.
Keep your circle small.
Your colleagues are not your friends except they prove themselves to be.
People you meet in carnivals or parties are not your friends because you had a great first time conversation. It takes time to know some one.
In this era, we misuse the word 'friend'. It is good to have business partners and acquaintances but be careful who you let into your inner circle.
Remember to keep positive vibes and energy around you. I believe this so much.
Love, Chiama.
Nice one. Than you for sharing.
I just had a rethought on who are truly my friends while I was reading your article.
This is very important!!!!
Friends that help us grow, not tear us down.
You are absolutely right.
...both mentally and spiritually...
If it is done sometimes confuses the friendship with something else, it is as if you said those "Friends" that we know in parties or events that are only known and that are only people with whom we share some time, but do not enter into that definition or at least that's my opinion
All I am saying is that we are quick to call people our friends, when in reality they are not.
