Today’s question is “The most important qualities in a friend”
I have always had friendships based on common values and alignment of energies. As we grow and change as individuals, our priorities and energies change and friendships fall by and by. There is nothing wrong with that – it is just how life is.
In life’s journey, we have friends who are there for the whole hog and some only partially. But as long as both are having fun, it is a good deal.
The things that bind me in a friendship is truth and respect. Just like any relationship, these two are the cornerstone. My friends are always truthful to me whether I like it or not and I appreciate that. There are enough people in the world who say things to please me and my friends keep me grounded.
It is important to have common values. I practice a value based life and kindness and empathy are importantly to me. I have never been friends with mean people and will never be.
Lastly, we should enjoy each other’s company and have fun. Friendship is joy and my friends make me happy.
