Friendship

But of course how not to talk about this subject in a day like today??? First, I want to which a very happy, happy Valentines Day to all of you!!! Now to the subject, I use to had a person close to me that use to say “amigo es un peso en el bolsillo” translation “a friend is a dollar in your pocket” meaning, that you never have a true friend, and that you should not trust nobody.

Through life, I have learned that you can have a true friend.  I have a best friend of more than 15 years of relationship, and many, many, many others that I have been developing within recent years. People that I know that if I need something they will be there for me, and they know that they can count with me. I use to have a good friend, which is not anymore, and one time at the end of the friendship I was trying to tell that person what is the meaning of friendship what is the “role” of a friend. I found tons, and tons of pretty definitions and expressions, so I put couple of them together, also I add my own definition, and this is what I get:

 Knowing there is another human being you can trust completely. A friend is somebody that knows all about you.  Is someone that will tell you if you have a bad haircut or if the cloth does not fit you without hurting you. Real friendship looks at the heart, not just the "packaging." Genuine friendship loves for love's sake, not just for what it can get in return. A true friend is someone that listens to you. Real friendships don’t just happen, and they aren’t maintenance free. This one I like it very much; “A true friend stabs you in the front.”—Oscar Wilde

What God tells us about friendship?

Proverbs 17:17 -- 18:24 --27:9

 ²⁴ One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

 ¹⁷ A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

 ⁹ Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend
   springs from their heartfelt advice.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
