Domino reaction on friendship


Is it possible for a good friendship to become suffocating and listless? Yup, sure it will if one is dwelling on negativity, selfishness and if it's on a one-way lane course. Friendship should be nurtured, like a plant...it needs to be watered everyday, needs to cultivate soil so to air the roots. The foundation should be on solidarity where sharing and caring has to blend in with continuous communication, respect and understanding if one has some misgivings and shortcomings along the course of that friendship lane. Flaws is just next to impossible. But then, somehow if one has become centered in himself alone everything will fall down like dominoes.

Extracted from Wikipedia:
Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis:

* the tendency to desire what is best for the other *

PS / As I always say in my earlier posts...I believe in this adage, a bird in the hand is better than birds in the bush...and If you have found true friendship, hold it with both hands...never let it go because true friendship is good as gold. When I found one I make sure to let her feel that I do care...so if it 'll go sour, I make sure the pointing finger's not on my face. Never! I love to love and be loved... :)
