True friendship is not what you receive but what you give. Sometimes I may wake up and write a status abt people who turned out not to be true friends etc. This makes us assume that the measure of true friendship is what we receive. They didnt meet my expectations, so they dont qualify to be my true friends, infact they betrayed me. Thats a wrong approach, and it makes us assume that one has been nothing but good and a victim of betrayal. In most cases these people labelled bad friends are not being bad per se, but their behaviour is a response to my behaviour to them which has not been as depicting of true friendship. Judging a friendship from a receiving point of view, means that you say, people must do as you want them to do, for them to qualify to be your friends. This defeats the true essence of friendship. True friendship however is the decision you make, to be a good friend without expecting anything in return. And true friendship is not a bless me club, you are all in it for the good of one another, meaning that you are also able to tell one another the truth where need be, whether it be nice truth or hard truth to swallow, but true friends must express this to one another. Lastly, one mustnt assume that he/she is oxygen and that he/she is generally needed. And you must not project yourself as a person who generally needs people. Like their goal in life must be to meet your needs. Statements like you were not there when I needed you!. No one had to be there, its not a must nor something one is entitled to. To conclude, the measure of true friendship is not on what you receive but on what you give.
