Borders of a Friendship
October 10th 2006 17:29
Friendship is a vast land. It reaches far and wide, and you are free to go anywhere on this piece of land. It is the place where you and your friend have some peace of mind and enjoy your life. And as your friendship grows, the land also grows wider. But then, some time later a threat is likely to appear. And if you are careless a bit, your free land may well turn into an empire, a land of tyranny.
The borders of a friendship is defined by respect, and respect only. It is such drawn that even the slightest change on the border might well turn into a war.
If someone considers you as a friend then he or she expects you to respect his or her privacy, likes and dislikes etc. –all the choices that he/she made. You don’t have to agree with all of your friend’s ideas but you must respect them. Because this is the basic idea of friendship. Yes, you will say what you think about the situation, that is a must also. Both of you can not have the same idea on a subject all the time. That is impossible and it would be boring. Because you are two different persons sharing a form of unity called friendship. In addition, only true friends point the mistakes or wrongs that they see to each other. Don’t be afraid to tell him/her why you disagree on the subject. But when this is over, let it go. That is all of your duty as a friend. Next thing you must do is to respect your friend’s choice.
Don’t forget that you are in the free land of friendship. Never let it turn into tyranny.

Friendly Foes
From what I see, respect is the keynote of a friendship. If it's lost then you will lose also the harmony of the two souls.
