What Makes A Great Friendship?

7/27/2020

Hello Friends,

Have you ever wondered what makes a great friendships? I recently heard a story that made me put things in perspective about friendship. I met two women who have been friends for over 50 years. When they told me that I smiled and asked them, "how do they keep a lasting friendship?" One of the women told me it was very simple, when they met over 50 years ago they both thought about friendship the same way. They said there were three things they established in their friendship from the beginning and lived by, which was respect, trust and loyalty.

These ladies explained to me that being friends with someone is a choice. It’s not mandatory to have friends, but it makes life more enjoyable when you are able to share your greatest accomplishments, disappointments, fears, and happiness with someone. They told me that people don’t have friends or lose friends, because they don’t know how to “respect” the opinions and differences of others. They don’t show “trust” worthy qualities, and many times they do not understand the importance of showing “loyalty” in a friendship, which means being there for your friend through good and bad times and showing unconditional love.

It was fun talking with them, and it made me think about my friendship with my best friend and all my close friends. It reminded me of how special they are to me.

Share a great story about friendship.

THE WINDOW

LIFE is a journey and the experiences we encounter on our journey make us who we are. No one person has the exact same journey, but many of us experience some of the same things. The difference in those experiences are our perspective on how we view them. Here at THE WINDOW we want to write about things that make you think, things that inspire you, things that might spark conversations with others, and of course things that make you feel beautiful. This is our way of communicating thoughts from a positive perspective.

We want to hear from you. Tell us what you think about our posts and suggest some topics that you would like us to write about.

We hope these messages will uplift you.

True friends always support each other even during the hardest of times. A true friend is one who feels happy for our success, on the other hand, who feel gloomy for our failures. A true friend may criticize also so that we may come out of our weakness.
