Looking for a Constant Friend
care about someone, we tend to have trust and faith in that person.
A constant friend has the opposite characteristics of the man of empty promises, as follows:1. He or she confides in you.2. He or she does not tell your secrets.3. He or she does not abandon you when you fall on hard times.4. He or she would even die in your place.How lucky we are, if we can have a friend like this, or we can behave in these ways toward our friends. We are impressed by these characteristics.
lucky we are, if we can have a friend like this
Being a constant friend needs care. When we “really” care about someone, we tend to have trust and faith in that person. We can sacrifice our belongings and lives to those about whom we truly care. I am not so fond of the sentence “I do not care.” It is okay to use the sentence for the bad things, events, and people in our lives. But using the sentence too much can make us become insensitive and unfaithful. Caring about every thing too much can, however, cause us anxiety.“To associate with the virtuous is a cause of happiness.” (Buddha)“You are what your associates are.” (Vajirananvarorasa)
