“I know that we can all be friends, I know that this will never end. I know that we can all be friends.” This familiar M1 tone keeps ringing in my mind nowadays.
True, we all need friends for emotional support, to share the joy, to divide the pain. However, what kind of friends do we want to let into our life and what kind of friends would we want to just keep it just status quo and at a distance?
Many a times we tend to slant towards choosing friends based on our personality preferences, ability to click / connect and find common interests. However, these qualities are simply surface, and will never provide true, lasting friendship / relationship.
Recently having to come to grips with a few unpleasant situations that made me realize all the more, the importance of choosing the right kind of friends in my life.
Asking myself an important question – which is better -
a. A fun-loving, popular and exciting friend with values that simply goes opposite to my own.
b. A plain gal who simply blend into the wall, but has a great heart for the truth.
Both are opposites, but for a lasting friendship, I choose B.
If God looks at these 2 people, guess who is God more pleased with?
No doubt God looks at the heart, the inner being.
Lesson learnt: Choose friends based on their character.
