True Friendship -
RecognitionHow can we find true friendship
in this often phony, temporary world?
Friendship involves recognition or familiarity
with another's personality.
Friends often share likes and dislikes, interests,
pursuits, and passion. How can we recognize
potential friendship?
Signs include a mutual desire for companionship
and perhaps a common bond of some kind.
Beyond that, genuine friendship involves a
shared sense of caring and concern, a desire
to see one another grow and develop,
and a hope for each other to succeed in
all aspects of life.
True friendship involves action:
doing something for someone else
while expecting nothing in return;
sharing thoughts and feelings
without fear of judgment or negative criticism.
