True Friendship - Recognition
How
can we find true friendships in this fast and selfish world? This
world is not a permanent world and our life in this temporary world is
very short like a thin string tied between two edges. In this time how
can we find friends and friendships which are true and trustable.
Friendships involve recognition or familiarity with another's
personality. Friends must share likes and dislikes, interest, views,
passion of their life and world. This gives a lot of recognition with
the person whom we need have friendship.
How can we recognize
potential friendships? There is a lot of symptoms which include mutual
desire for companionship and perhaps a common bond in some topics
similar to each other. Beyond that a genuine and mutual friendship
involves a shared sense of caring and concern, a desire to see one
another grow and develop, and a hope for each other to succeed in all
aspects of life. True friendship involves action: doing something for
someone else while expecting nothing in return; sharing thoughts and
feelings without fear of judgment or negative criticism.
True Friendship - Relationship, Trust, Accountability
True
friendship involves relationships. Those mutual attributes we mentioned
above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into
relationship. Many people say, "Oh, he's a good friend of mine," yet
they never take time to spend time with that "good friend." Friendship
takes time: time to get to know each other, time to build shared
memories, time to invest in each other's growth.
Trust is
essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share
our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. We need to be able to
share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those
secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! Failing to be
trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a
hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Without
them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship,
there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away.
True
friendship requires certain accountability factors. Real friends
encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an
offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle. Friends
are dependable. In true friendship, unconditional love develops. We love
our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends.
True Friendship - Solution to every problems
If
you have a true friendship with some singles or personals, then you
don't need to worry about any problems that you face. A true friendship
is often referred to the solutions that a person needs. When we are in
trouble we can ask for soluton to the trustable true friends and
friendship only. We can't expose our problems to others who are not
having true friendship with us. But when we discuss our problem we get a
solution from our friends, friends never expose our weekness and try to
hide them from coming out. They give better solutions than others. We
can discuss any problem with friends who are true in their friendship.
True Friendship - Real Help in needed time
A
real true friendship offers helping hands to the friends who are in
trouble. As I said it is a solution for problems, true friends are also
the helpers for others. Friends never let us go sink into problems.
Instead friends try to rescue us from problems by helping us. With
friends and friendships there will be a common bonding named helping.
Friends never runaway from problems of other friends.
Real and
true friendship involves freedom of choice, accountability, truth, and
forgiveness. Real friendship looks at the heart, not just the
"packaging." Genuine friendship loves for love's sake, not just for what
it can get in return. True friendship is both challenging and exciting.
It risks, it overlooks faults, and it loves unconditionally, but it
also involves being truthful, even though it may hurt. Genuine
friendship, also called "agape" love, comes from the Lord. When we've
offended a true friend - whether by breaking a trust or by speaking the
truth with love - we risk losing that friendship. We must be careful not
to break the trust. But when not speaking the truth will cause greater
hurt in our friend's life, we must be willing to sacrifice our needs for
those of our friend. That is true friendship.
