MY FRIEND RICH IS A GREAT WRITER AND I JUST LOVE HIS TAKE ON FRIENDS, ALL SHOULD READ AND SEE HOW TRUE THIS IS.. ENJOY. Sep 8, 2008 11:50 AM Subject: Friends Body: A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes. Someone who can see through you and still enjoy the view. Someone who knows all about you and likes you anyways. Knows your faults, your joys and your pains and is there for you through your roughest times.It's great to be rich, it's great to be strong and healthy, but it's a better thing to be loved by many friends. In friendships it's not our job to try and straighten each other out but it should be our job to help each other up.True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it's lost. The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away. I like the conversation in the movie Winnie the Pooh; "Are we going to be friends forever?" asked Piglet. "Even longer", answered Pooh.Misfortunes in your life shows you who are really true friends. When disaster strikes you; that's when you find who your friends really are. A true friend will be there in your roughest times when all the others are avoiding you. A friendship that can cease was never real to begin with.To me a true friend is one that will always find you acceptable when others do not. No one is perfect in this world. Far from. But understand; when your friend needs you they shouldn't have to ask you for help. You should already be there providing it.Friendships last longer than most relationships. What is of more value to you? Most would choose what they think is love over friends. Why is that? A simple answer. Everyone is looking for that elusive soul mate. Very few ever find it. But for those who do; you win! But still keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer! Copyright: Rich R 9/08/08
