You know, lately i have been thinking about this topic, friends. Yes, friends are those that hang around with you and have lots of fun with you. But are they true friends? Ask yourself that question. I find that some people are friends with you because you have things like money and other things. Friends through times together and how long we've known each other make them our good or even best friends. I got some friends that over some things that i asked him and he gave me the solution to it, became my best friend almost instantly(obviously we knew each other but we were not so close as of now).
Let me give you an example, i had a best friend when i was in primary 4. His name was Nabeel. He was my best friend because of us being in the soccer CCA. By year end, he was just a normal friend. Why? well... back then he threw tantrums over the smallest things. But now, he is a more matured person. When i got my PSLE results, i was disappointed and Nabeel saw that i was sad. He was very concerned for me as i was to him, a very close friend. He did something that i didn't expect a friend to do to me when i'm down. He called me during lunch and encouraged me. He didn't talk to me when we were together with other friends, he didn't sms me but he CALLED me to encourage me when he was in Vivo City going to watch a movie with his friends. Thinking, i was very touched and told myself, i am really grateful to have such a friend like that.
I have many friends. Some are those who are really close, while the others are just normal friends. Deon, Daryl and Wen Shien are some of my best friends. They helped me, talked to me and we hanged out. We were like brothers(in my opinion). Yes, we teased each other at times but we didn't let that affect our bond as best friends. I am very happy because of that.
I used to agree with my best friends with everything they said because they were my best friend. If I didn't feel the same way as them, i wouldn't say what i want to say if not i was afraid that would hurt our friendship. Now, if i could, i would go back in time and tell them what i feel. I am bossy. I would always think that i'm right. But i would also lend a listening ear to my friends and see if they have better ideas than i do. We do things that sometimes people dislike. I have done that before. I have teased someone over a matter too much that sometimes they feel very hurt. To us it is a joke but sometimes others feel embarrassed, sad and angry because of what you have said about them.
So we all need to be emphathetic and think about the consequences before what you say or do. Sometimes saying something might affect the private life of your friends so do not do things that i have done last time. We do things that is wrong because we're not perfect. But always strive to do good and even when doing something the wrong way is much much easier, we must always have a passion to do good and not evil.
