Who are your friends???

I guess the age-long sayings that birds of the same feather flock together and show me your friends and I will tell you who you are were both borne out of the wise realization that one's friends have a lot to contribute to the actualization or abortion of a man's greatness and destiny fulfilment in life. Friends have a very strong influence in each other's lives. They can either be a ladder to climb to success in life or not just pull one down but also bury one's destiny forever.


But the secret behind successful friendship is that friends must be trustworthy and open to each other and keep each other's secret. True friends wish each other the very best things in life and are willing to bear each other's burdens and help each other out of difficult times in life. Friends must be able to keep each other's secret no matter what and must see each other as siblings from different parents.

Friends must never betray their friends nor should they make light the core values of their friendship.

The quickest way to kill friendship is by envy, jealousy, backbiting, gossip and unhealthy rivalry. Like every other human relationship in life, love and honesty must be the guiding watchword to the indestructibility of any lasting friendship. The true test if fruendship is not in its size but its quality and in what value it adds to those concerned. So again I ask...
