How do you Select friends?

We are living in a period where friendship is undervalued. These days friendship is given more importance than it is required. Many people are struggling to choose good friends, aren’t you?

Personal relationships, family relationships and friendship relationships are different. A balanced life is possible for those who understand the importance and characteristics of each relationship. Some are close friends, others are neighbors, classmates, colleagues, fellow residents, natives, or foreigners. So, all the people in this world should be our friends. Although we have many friends, we need one or two very close friends whom we trust to discuss our secrets with.

Elders taught the importance of a good friend by saying that if a friend is better than a mirror. Don’t lose your good friends. Their relationship should continue even after marriage. You don’t have to marry your best friend. Friendship and marriage are two different relationships. Only a few can have one person in these two relationships. Having a true friend for your life partner is never a problem for your marriage. Rather, such relationships should always be encouraged. Friendships that last till death are very empowering.

Our parents are our closest friends. Later spouse or any other person may come to that position. But God is our best friend indeed. When we prioritize our time in life, we can give enough time to our friends. You should be able to love everyone. Loving someone too much can cause you to miss out on many important people and things. Remember, your life is more important than your friends.

May you be a good friend and you have a good friend.
