If you have a true friend, then you are the most blessed in this world. Real friends are invaluable life anchor. One true friend is worth more than a million acquaintances. Life is sorely boring without true friends. Friends are the colours of life. True friends are what makes our life beautiful. When we lack true friends, the world becomes a danger zone.

  • Sometimes we are “beyond Reach”
  • Sometimes we are “beyond correction”
  • Sometimes we are too “far gone”
  • Sometimes we become “so foolish”
  • Sometimes we become “too arrogant”
  • Sometimes we are “so vulnerable”
  • Sometimes we are “so gullible”
  • Sometimes we are “so blind”
  • Sometimes we are “so deaf”
  • Sometimes we are “so corrupt”
  • Sometimes we are “so forgetful”
  • Sometimes we “run into errors”
  • Sometimes we become “confused”
  • Sometimes we are “bent on destroying ourselves”

And this is one reason we all need a true friend. The true friend. My true friend. We need a True Friend that can save us from ourselves. You need a friend that can save you from you. We all need at least one friend -The Friend that we can call “my friend”. A true friend that can tell us the truth courageously. We need a true friend who would not spare our feelings, who would not be afraid to hurt our feelings. We need a friend whose status or statue does not intimidate.

  • A true friend does not necessarily have to be a business partner
  • A true friend does not necessarily have to be my spouse
  • A true friend does not necessarily have to be my siblings
  • A true friend is that person who remains truthful even when every other person is false
  • A true friend is a “life partner” in the lonely rough terrain of life

It is good to have friends but we do not need so many friends, we only need at least true friend that can relate with us just as we are. There are things our parent won’t be able to talk to us about but a true friend would. There are things our siblings can’t confront us about but a true friend would. We need a true friend who is not a sycophant

True Friends are not people we don’t disagree with but people we disagree with without being disagreeable. It is better to be hurt by a true friend than to be wounded by a dangerous enemy. A true friend is a refuge from a dangerous World. No matter what you become, do not outgrow your friend.

  • A true friend does not mind your ego
  • A true friend will make you laugh and yet won’t spare your tears
  • A true friend knows your weak point but yet celebrate your strengths
  • A true friend would let you be yourself
  • A true friend can only be angry with you for “5 minutes” – he hold no grudges
  • A true friend will come for you in prison not minding the stigma
  • A true friend will stand by you through glamour and through obscurity
  • A true friend will not let you go down, he would rather stand on your way until you can find your way
  • A true friend knows you stink but endures the odour
  • A true friend would look out for your success even when you have failed

Finding “my friend”, a true friend is real hard work. Whatever you do, make sure you find a true friend. And if you can find a true friend in your spouse, you are the happiest person on earth.
