Throughout our lives we pass by several
friendships, since kindergarten until the days in which we’ll be sitting on a
chair doing nothing but knitting sweaters for our grandchildren. Some of them
might last and some might just not, yet in both cases we learn and we get to
know the qualities of a good friend as well as the potentials of a durable
friendship. Since it takes years building a friendship however seconds
destroying it, each one of us had come to realize that there are some qualities
that should be found in a friend.
As Arnold H. Glasow said, “A true friend
never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down” from this quote, an
important quality of a good friend gets illustrated and that is being
supportive. A friend should never get in your way of achieving your goals and
going after your dreams, although he should be there, supporting you in every
step you make. In my point of view, it’s harder for a person to walk on his
own, he should have a friend on his side that helps him face his problems and
confront life’s difficulties. A good friend should be also honest; he shouldn’t
always be saying yes in order to please you, on the contrary, he should disapprove
what he considers as being wrong. In addition, he needs to be trustworthy, a
person you can trust with all your secrets whether they’re worthy or not, a
person in whom you have confidence enough to the extent that you’re ready to
tell them EVERYTHING.
A friend is someone who knows when you’re
down without you even saying a word, a person who’s ready to sacrifice
everything just to please you, to make a fool out of himself and eat a spoon
full of Wasabi in order to just see a smile on your face, someone who’s going
to be there when things get tough, a friend is that person who can look you in
the eyes when nobody can’t. A good friend will always be there “Lots of people
want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take
the bus with you when the limo breaks down.” - Oprah Winfrey.
