Well, there are 5 ways or more that is learn of to be a good friend to another. There more, no kidding but I will have to focus on the ideas I have at this point of time.
firstly, being Honest!
when I meant being honest, it means that someone shouldn't put on something you called a fake front, generally being a FAKER, it's just not cool being that. Nobody will ever know who you really are down there and it will just make others distant themselves from that kind of person namely YOU. You especially wouldn't want those of your close friends and family members to do something like that since it will hurt you badly unless you don't have feelings. :P
secondly, have SINCERITY as a friend!
hmmm how should I start with?
I guess people will tend to try to understand something that most of the time, they DON'T
so if someone needs a ear, might as well be that ear, and don't be the mouth, or else you might be shut off.
Besides that, people often "helped out" out of guilt, sympathy, or some other reasons that don't associate themselves by being a friend. If you do not want to do it, it's fine, just try to be sincere about it.
thirdly, be forgiving to your friend,
being a friend meant sometimes, we have to expect disappointment because all I can say is that no one is perfect like Jesus is, and people will tend to bring disappointment to us every now and then.
EXPECT TO BE DISAPPOINTED
fourth, learning together with one another
hmmm learning about life purposes with one another, and learn more about each other as friends normally do , because I believed that no one will ever stay the same as he or she is in the present. This goes to the same to BGRs and married couples.
fifth, encourage one another
Have we ever learn to be our friend's best cheerleaders in life?
Never be afraid to support our friends in the decisions that they make. This is not just about being there when they are happy but also being there when they are down. People around us namely friends need our encouragement, as they are also humans and may not be able to to handle their problems on their own.
Anyway, this post was supposed to be up for like a long time already but due to time constraint and I wasn't in the ability to post this up, it sort of dragged on till today.
