friends, friends, friends!
You know.. in life we can have many friends… some friends are at the distance, some are quite close. Some friendships are closer, those whom you share your joy, pain etc… basically you can talk anything under the sun.
This type of friends are not many isnt it? These are the ones whom we can really share and trust with our lives.
but what if ONE FINE DAY you and your friend have a misunderstanding? disagreement? how would you handle it?
well for sure.. there is no perfect way to handle..because it really depends on the level of r/s with the person, the nature of the indcident and the characters of people handling conflicts.
but one of the main things that i have learnt and still learning is to face them and not keep them.
many times we just want to move on and pretend nothing happen but that is just pilling and waiting for the bigger one to come.
friendship is all about sharpening one another so sometimes if not often, we must learn to express or share what is the core issues about. we must learn to be slow to speak and quick to listen. at the end of the day, it not about who is right or wrong but rather hearing and identify the feelings and thoughts of the person.
it never easy to have a strong friendship that is build on trust but once you learnt that, it would become stronger.
treasure your friends because they only come once in a lifetime. treasure them because they are God’s gift to you!
love you all!
