We try to be really nice and friendly to people, but what they do is take undue advantage of that and misuse us. Even if we are as sweet as a candy cane there would always be that one person who would still be that crafty devil.
In todays world there is so much competition that even best of friends could turn out to be ENEMIES. They would find out any possible means and ways of putting their friend down ignoring the fact that their friend would be shattered or that it would or could leave a permanent IMPACT on the friends mind and heart.
We often fail to judge our friends (initially friends later enemies) and end up suffering the worst betrayals one would have ever faced. But we learn from our mistakes so all these are mere stepping stones to help us portray who our REAL friends are.
At times or I must say mostly the people who seem to be very sweet are those who talk negative about us behind our back. And once a person has gone through this phase of initial friendship which leads to a future betrayal makes the person more skeptical to make new friends.
These crafty devils not only distance themselves from us but also create a void in the relation which we have with our TRUE friends.
I think in order to not go through this heart breaking phase its very important to know that who's worth your kindness and who's just taking undue advantage of it because we know that everyone will not appreciate what we do. So I feel these days it is okay to be selective when it comes to choosing friends as people now a days don't know the true meaning of FRIENDSHIP.
Truly great. I'm really grateful you wrote this post, since it mirrors many of the feelings I've had about friends. I never had any friends when I was younger (1st-2nd standard), so was probably one of those people who felt those "betrayals" later than others did.
ReplyDeleteI think you should replace the word "portray" with the word "discover", unless you want to mean we should ourselves become how we want our true friends to be, in which case, it was difficult for me to ascertain that meaning from the sentence structure you've used ("portray our TRUE FRIENDS" would be better than "portray who our TRUE FRIENDS are").
I hope you don't stop writing here after this IELTS thing, and write a blog post whenever you find time (even if it may not be too often).
Thanks a ton Dheeraj for your feedback! Yeah my bad, portray wasn't suitable there.
