I'm not much of a writer (I just hate writting), but I'll try my utmost to put something down. A friend is an extension of yourself. Someone you're not afraid to be yourself around. A friend see the tears behind your smile, makes you feel loved. Understands you even without saying a word. A friend is not quick to judge you, but doesn't hesitate to caution you when you done a wrong. A friend always want to share the good and bad times with you, put smile on your face and make you a better person. 2 Likes 1 Share |

pickabeau1: Some of us choose to let our past actions/inactions define us. Determine the chart for our lives.....especially those bad ones. All I'm saying is that what really matters is not who you are out there. But who you are in here. That's what should be lifted out, that's what you should be striving to become. All too often, I've heard comments like --- "I know I shouldn't have done that, but somehow I did." "I'm not a bad person (soul), but I don't know why I can't seem to control my urge to lie (actions). Now, invariably....to the ordinary mind ^^^ the person above is a liar, innit? But then again, some of us choose to see people for what they really are.....despite their wrong ways. We figure it's the only way to help lift up the good in them, maximally. You get? |

MissSlimbody: I'm sorry about that. Errrrmmm.... miss, easy na. Why you want discourage people like me that is trying so hard to write There's a word I emboldened up there. I have an issue with that. So, just to be clear........ For example now, You're my bond friend. I just had an abortion. I hid it from you. 3 days later, one way or another, you found out. Oya, act film small, how would you react? No mince words o |

MizMyColi: I understand all you say however actions are the best indicator All else are intentions If a person wants to help me with a loan and says all the time he wants to help yet he wants to always help And never does How can I rely on.him Using a loan as an example I agree that past action should not hang over one |

pickabeau1: This could go both ways y'know....... What if the person always means to give but always can't. In the end it boils down to a person knowing one's self. That statement, the one you first quoted is a rather personal talk between soul and self. For example, people may look at me and see a cheap wh0re. But in my heart of hearts, I know that it's not a life I want. I may be doing my best possible (to the best of my knowledge) to become who I truly desire.......but no one would know, and they'd still keep labelling me as such. That is what brought about the statement. 1 Like |

MizMyColi: 1.if he or she is my friend I would be aware of what he or she can do So not helping when the need is here How can that be a friend A friend in deed is a friend indeed 2.On the statement being self and soul..does it relate to friendship then? 3. If the person is a cheap whôre..does it mean she is not a good friend I thought your article was about friendship and not self discovery and awareness |
Re: What Does Friendship Mean To You. by MizMyColi(f): 5:06pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
pickabeau1: Okay, first off.....I think the emboldened has a role to play in our becoming better individuals to one another. Plus, I was trying to broaden my take on the statement "Our actions do not define us, our soul does" You get? |
Re: What Does Friendship Mean To You. by pickabeau1: 5:17pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
MizMyColi: your soul is unknown What you can hold is your action The cheap whôre you spoke about one may keep on in that life Another may get an education and move on Another can open a business and become a magnate Another marry into.wealth I get what you hope I get Any friendship to me is someone who you can trust to be there when you need someone |

pickabeau1: Hence, you should try to put forward the good in you. That which bears witness to your soul (assuming it is a light filled soul), irrespective of the darkness around. Thank you for getting . |

Friendship means being honest and upfront with each other. No matter what decisions you make in life, a true friend will let you know what he/she thinks, but still stand by your decision. Friendship means keeping away from backbiting. A true friend wouldn't say bad about you behind your back, rather they would defend you when you are not capable of defending yourself. They stand by you during the tough times, and darkest of hours. They do these things and so much more. 1 Like |

CrazyMan: What is your take on a friendship where only one of them is permitted to be "honest" and "upfront"? If the other so much as tries to be as expressive, albeit courteously.....well, that is not even allowed. Where the party just spews stuffs, and treats you like you're employee or a beneficiary, because they love you and want the best for you. |

Re: What Does Friendship Mean To You. by CrazyMan(m): 6:17pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
MizMyColi:Then you should ask yourself this simple question "What do I stand to gain by remaining friends with smeone who doesn't reciprocate, or friends who treat you with disdain"? I think its absurd staying in a friendship where one party feel like he's doing the other party a favour. Friendship in my understanding is all about mutual respect, and freedom of expression. If you respect someone, you would respect his/her decisions. You wouldn't try to dictate or try to control his/her life. |

CrazyMan: I stared at this post for long because I was pretty much at a loss for what to type. This is profound. Thank you. A quote by Rob Hill Sr comes to mind. "I'd rather be the one you felt you deserved, than be the option you felt forced to settle for. If we BOTH don't feel blessed to have one another, then we shouldn't be together." Thanks again. 1 Like |

MizMyColi: You did what How could you? After I get over the shock, I would want to hear the story behind the abortion. Sincerely, the former ME, would condemn her. But I have learnt to condemn an act without condemning the person (its not really easy I must say, 'cos we tend to expect too much from some people) My bond friend must have felt abortion is only option she has. |
