if i ask you: "do you have friends?" you might smile and answer,"sure, i do!" yes, everyone of us needs friends and we all have friends. friends are like small boats that take us to safe harbors. friends are like trees that give us shade in hot summer days.
true friendship depends on mutual trust. true friends always help and learn from each other, but they never trouble each other with trifles. a true friend will keep a secret for you and so will you for him. true friends may not share the same way of life, but they are likely to share the same way of thinking. true friends never take advantage of each other. in a word, true friends are friends through thick and thin.
i appreciate the kind of friendship mentioned above. i adhere to the principle of making friends with those who are honest and reliable, that is to say, friends should be trustable and dependable.
