This morning I was reading about friendship & how it is that we should always try to be a friend first & then friendship with others will follow…I thought about what it is to be a friend & it became clear to me that there are several different components to being a friend…
First, Kindness & Generosity…Sticking out your hand to say hi & then be willing to devote some time to learn about the person in front of you…Second, Honesty…Telling your story as it is & not trying to embellish upon the details to make yourself sound Bigger, Better, Faster…& lastly Trustworthy…Let your new friend feel like they can share their difficulties…Their ups & downs…Without fear of reproach or betrayal…these are just the basics of friendship but they are the rudiments that will make a friendship survive…
I invite your comments about your experiences & share your knowledge…
