Appreciate your friends for their friendship. Sometimes, your friends will surprise you by being there quicker than your family. Close friendships are one of life’s miracles. Of all the people that we met and of all those that crossed our path, only a few will become our close friends. These are what we call bosom friends. They know us intimately - our positive as well as negative traits. And still they stick by us, and accept us for who we are.
Among the privileges of friendship is the opportunity to share some of the deeper feelings of human life – the joys and sorrows. Pain is lessened when shared with a friend who cushions the blow. Joys are doubled when shared with a friend. Because of a friend, we are more confident in life. We are happier, and life is more meaningful.
However, friendships can be very delicate. Friendships are built on two things. Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You will not be comfortable with someone you do not trust. You will not want to develop a friendship with him. You can have respect for someone, but if you don’t have trust, the friendship will crumble.
Be respectful to your friends. It is not easy to gain someone's trust. When you do, make sure you don't do something silly and lose the trust, because if the trust is not there, there is no friendship to speak of.
