How do you know who your friends are?

We all have friends but what we want is more than just a friend, we want a true friend. The sign of a very good friend of ours is when we call them at any hour and talk to them without thinking about how much time has passed. We also speak about everything in our mind without caring what our friends will think. We will also feel more open talking to them.


However, a true friend is something more than a very good friend. A true friend supports you even if there is an advantage to him. A true friend will understand your needs and will always be there for you without having excuses of having something important like work. A true friend encourages you and forgive you when you did something wrong. A true friend will help you without request and would expect nothing in return. In the hour of desperation, a true friend will be there for you even if the whole world opposes you. It will be good to have a true friends rather than having thousands and millions of very good friends. Not many people have true friend as it is easier for us to expect than to give so not many people want to sacrifice their time and job for their friends. But first be a true friend to yourself.



The most essential in having a true friend and a true friendship is trust. A true friend must be trustable as we need to be able to confine in him/her our deepest secrets, without worrying it may end up on the Internet or being told to others. Faithfulness and loyalty are also key to true friendship. Without them, we would feel betrayed, left out and lonely.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
