There is a large variety of people living in this crazy world. Whether you want it or not, you have to deal with them. They could be your roommates, schoolmates, colleagues, online buddies or anybody you have to face almost everyday.
Benjamin Franklin said, “Be slow in choosing your friends; slower in changing.“It means that, you need to choose a friend carefully so you won’t need to change them all the time.
When I was little, Mom told me that I could make friends with anyone. She told me not to be judgmental about others that had differences with me. And, I did. But as time went by, I became more ‘picky’ in choosing my friends. No, I didn’t try to be in a popular group or anything. I just avoided those who might have caused me problems. I was only close to those who could cheer up my day and bring the best in me as I also did the same to all of them.
However, there were also times when I misjudged someone. I had been so nice at her. And, I thought she was worth a friendship but then she jeopardized everything between the two of us.
But apparently that didn’t happen only to me. Y also had an ‘interesting’ experience with a friend. She’s been so nice to this lady but I don’t think she got the same in return.
So, based on my own experience and Y’s, I now believe that even if you totally master the art of being a good friend, it doesn’t always mean that you master the art of choosing a friend.
