Friendship - Who Is a True Friend

Introductory comments by Royane Real

The article below by cd Mohatta explores the nature and mystery of true friendship.
In many ways, the nature of friendship truly is a mystery. We meet many people in the course of our lives. Many become acquaintances, but only a few are destined to become our lasting friends.
Friendships depend on many other factors. Whether you truly enjoy each other’s company. How well you can communicate. How you handle the differences between the two of you. Whether or not you are disappointed in each other and how you handle it. Whether you are both really loyal to each other.
We can’t really control which people will become our true friends. We don’t always know at the beginning of any friendship whether or not this friendship will last.
No matter how spectacular the other person seems to be, no matter whether or not you seem to really hit it off in your first meeting, or whether you have a lot to say to each other, this does not really predict whether or not the two of you will have a friendship that stands the test of time.
Very often it is a time of crisis that reveals who you can really count on and who you can’t.
We can have many acquaintances in our lives, but it’s likely we will only have a few true friends. We should count each true friend as a blessing. Some people never have any close friends.
So, if it looks like you have some true friends in your life, do not take this marvelous gift for granted. Be as good a friend to them as you possibly can. Show them your appreciation because the gift of true friendship is rare, and is not given to every body.

Friendship - Who Is a True Friend
By: cdmohatta
We all have friends. A lot gets talked about friendships. Everyone wants a true friend, and many of us believe that we have a friend who can be called a true friend. What kind of relations do friends share?
When can we call a friend a true friend, and when can our friends take us as their true friend? After a romantic relationship, friendships are the most important relationships we can have. Though all of us have family and distant family, most of us rely on friends for advice, comfort and inspiration. How do we define a relation that can be called as one of true friendship?
The very first sign of a very good friend, not necessarily a true friend is that we are not worried about courtesies.
You will call your friend at any hour and talk without any thought of time in your mind. Similarly, whenever you need support, you will call a very good friend and ask him/her to help you out. They expect the same from you.
Another important trait of such relations is that we are not much worried about exposing ourselves. We speak about everything in our mind without worrying about what our friends will think. We are sure that they will take our talk in the spirit it was made. We are unguarded and open with friends in our talk.
A true friend is a little more than a very good friend. A true friend will support you even if it hurts his/her own interest. A true friend will understand your motives and needs and will be with you without any analysis or criticism. A true friend will come forward to help without any request and be with us in need without showing it or expecting anything in return.
With a true friend, you can be sure that you will get help to the extent possible by him/her. Nothing will remain unturned. A mother is a true friend of her children. If we share such relations with an adult we can say that we are true friends.
A true friend makes no excuses of having work or appointments or anything but will be with you whenever you need him/her. In your hour of desperation, a true friend will support you even if the whole world opposes you. A true friend is not an opportunist. A true friend means to have someone who is like a mother, as I said earlier.
Instead of having hundreds of good friends, if you have a true friend, treat yourself lucky. If you can also become a true friend of someone, you will be blessed, because it is much easier for all of us to expect but very difficult to give. Be a true friend yourself first.
