On Friendship

A friend of mine posted this qoute in Facebook.

"A true friend cares like a mom, scolds like a dad, teases like a sister, irritates like a brother and loves more than a lover."

I googled the source of this quote but unable to find the source.

Very few people care this much for a friend and am one of them. I appreciate a friend who treats me this way because I know the friendship is genuine because the person takes you as his/her own. In my entire adult years, I met two people who really cares. The distance and the nature of the job separated us. The other person is me. I care in that way for few friends whom I really consider friends.

I met a person two years back who didn't appreciate this kind of friendship. I get ridiculed or receive mean feedback sometimes when I show this kind of friendship. I don't hold the negative feedbacks about a friend when I know that no one would have the guts to tell him/her about it.

I learned that if there are true friends, there are also false friends. I prayed to God to keep these false friends away from me. I take friendship seriously and it pains me when someone breaks my trust. I pray also that I will find more true friends because they are a treasure.

I have handful of friends whom I get along well but I can't really be comfortable telling them all my thoughts and show my quirkiness. Maybe time is what we needed to get to know more of each other. I am still thankful of these people though because they show me how much they care especially in bad times.
