Hi! Leafa here with a post on Friendship. This has been mentioned in many posts, but I thought I'd write a post with the official topic of friendship ^.^ If that makes any sense...
I hope you don't mind, FrostWolf, but I'm going to borrow your quote:
Another friendship quote I like--
A friend is someone who understand your past, believes in your future, and accepts you today just the way you are. ~Anonymous
Friendship is where you have deep respect and good will towards another--it's hard to explain; you might have respect and good will towards an acquaintance, but with a true friend you should feel compassion, respect and good will. You should expect the best from your friend and give them your best. If they don't fulfill your standards--you decide what happens: a) Don't become friends with them (but that's rather for extreme cases) b) Help them reach your standards c) Leave them the way they are.
You should be respectful and kind to your friends; and acquaintances/strangers too, of course. But let's not veer off the topic, shall we?
You need to be worth your friend's friendship. It doesn't matter if you can't give them presents for their birthday or Christmas. It doesn't matter that they didn't send you a gift. If you're really friends, it doesn't depend on material matters like gift-giving.
Also, you should be truthful at all times to your friend--unless it will cause something harmful. Take a look at this post on Truth by me. Your friend won't like it if you don't trust them enough to tell the truth; and in return, would you like it if your friend lied to you?
All of this is true in vice versa. Your friend should expect the best from you and give you their all; should be respectful, kind, and truthful.
I hope that was a mostly sufficient post on friendship!

My favourite quote on friendship, apart from Frosty's of course, is:
ReplyDelete"True friendship is not being inseparable, but being separated and NOTHING CHANGES."
I like that :3
Nice! ^.^
