True and false friends
What is a true friend? Someone who says all the nice things that you wanna hear or the one that is unforgivingly honest with you?
I've been pondering this question for a few days now and to my surprise; I can count on one hand how many true friends I have. I have many false friends. The ones that are so kind and nice in front but say all manner of lies about me behind my back. True friends don't do that. They won't hurt you with their honesty unless it's for your own good. They're not selfish. There are also those who don't tell the lies but hear them and believe them anyway. Even if a complete stranger were to say untrue things about me, many of those friends will believe them anyway. Besides, who wouldn't wanna believe something nasty now, right? The more reclusive I become, the more I hear about how 'evil' I am. I admit I'm direct but I do not hurt anyone intentionally. All I can say is I am who I am. I don't regret it and I have reasons for all my actions. Good reasons. Besides, I'd rather be lonely and happy (yes, I'm happy keeping myself company) than stuck in a friendship that is full of lies.
I have one friend now who has been with me from the beginning. He helped me see things as they really are and perked me up when times got hard. Thanks to him, I believe I do have some sort of worth. More than I give myself credit for. It's nice to have true friends who are so confident and adamant of my purported great value in the world. Aww, shucks. And these are the friends who are brutally honest with me. I do believe I'll be alright ... I even have some sort of spiritual assurance of that fact from a friend who was the Holy Spirit's conduit ... the simple words were: "He said you're going to be alright". That simple message and a surge of mild electric current going through my body and a warmth in my heart. With all I've been through, I know God is watching over me. He keeps me safe from all possible harm and if I do come to harm, He gives me a way out. I guess that's one reason I don't really regret the past. Everything happens for a reason. That, and I believe in karma too. What goes around, comes around. I know it's mean but I am happy that one of those false friends had a reckoning. HAHAHAHAHA. That felt good :)
