A true friend is someone we bond mutually, someone we can trust, rely on, and confide in, someone who can give us a shoulder to lean on in times of trouble, someone who can cover our nakedness and protect our interests, etc. That friend who is so special to us, can we check to find out if true friendship qualities are found in him or her? If yes, congratulations! If not, then we've got to sit up.
Finding a true friend isn't easy so don't predispose yourself to accept people who flock to you to make friends. Some are there because of your affluence. The fame that attracts people to you does not mean that they are your friends. Many people want to associate with famous people, people that matter, and people who make a name for themselves, but no one knows their intention. Are they coming to mingle and add up something positive to your life or are they coming as a spy to monitor and scheme on how to set you up? Be observant!
Some so-called friends are there with their selfish interests just to exploit you and get you drained. This set is seen as sycophants. They don't mind flattering you with pleasant words from morning till night just to benefit from you, but their inner heart is far from you.
Some are there in your life because of the painful situation you've found yourself in, just to use your misery as a comfort. You instill joy in them when you lament and recount your misfortunes and failures in life, this set of friends will never care to give you a lifting hand. They are so deceptive. They pretend to show affection to win your heart to confide more in them. You make them strong when they see you cry, the least they can offer to you is to make you lament more, and they return home feeling better.
Nevertheless, there still exist some true friends. Having a good friend who stands for us at all times is what we all long for.
Severally we've witnessed or heard how a so-called friend killed his friend because of his accomplishment, we've seen how girls who are in good relationships have been lured and killed by their fellow girlfriends out of envy, etc. Your success gives sleepless nights to some of your so-called friends and your misfortunes gladdens the heart of some of your so-called friends, so know whom you call a friend, choose your friend, choose the people who come to you, and don't let them choose you, not everyone has to be your friend! Have good judgment to study and access the people who come to you, you may not be successful at first, as some people may wrap up and disguise themselves to be real and liked by everyone, but along the line, if you spot some traits of envy in him or her, use diplomacy and withdraw from that so-called friendship. Be diplomatic, don't be vocal, and don't divulge it to anyone. We all have weaknesses, but having an envious friend is uncalled for, there's no friendship there so of what use is he or she in your life? Don't wait to be taken to the world beyond, and then realize how neglected you have been to take precautions.
A few weeks ago, a friend gave his documents to his trusted friend to help and deliver as it was urgently needed for an appointment, the friend out of envy went behind and burnt the documents to ashes just to end the mouth-watering appointment that was loading up for his friend, fortunately, someone saw him but the deeds had been done, the friend missed the appointment. We should have in mind that some so-called friends are in our lives to terminate our joy or distract us from our dreams and visions.
Also, our relationships with the opposite sex call for concern. It's so alarming the rate at which girlfriends are plotting and getting their boyfriends killed, and boyfriends luring their girlfriends to death, who do we have to trust again? Who can we call our friends? Can I call you my friend? Know whom you choose for a friend and choose wisely.
