True Friend?
Friends.
You just can't live with them, yet you also can't live without them. I know I can't. My friends have always been around me to keep me sane. Without them and also my family (of course!), I wouldn't know where I would be right now.
It's great to have friends who are solid rocks to fall back on when you need a strong hand. It's fun to share your laughter and tears with these people who mean a lot to you.
But we can't always be perfect friends. There will always be good times but then there will also be some bad times. But the good times usually overshadow the bad. =)
As friends, sometimes, it isn't our intention to act or be a certain way; do things as we please; say things we don't mean; and utter words and promises; especially if they end hurting someone else's feelings.
You may say that it's not fair for others to judge you that way or label you a certain way. However, no matter how you deny it, even though you say you are not that kind or person and you never meant to hurt in any way, you end up just doing that.
Because now, it's not about you.
It's also about the other person.
If that person feels hurt by what you have done, you have inflicted that hurt, even though you say you never meant it. You can explain and justify yourself, but the fact is, someone's feelings was hurt.
So what are you going to do about it? Apologise? Just let it be? Promise not to let it happen again? Well, that also depends on the type of person you are.
If you feel that your actions and words have hurt others, even though you did not mean them that way, you do something to make the other person feel less hurt. You don't keep silent and be upset that you were told off for hurting someone's feelings. What kind of friend is that?
Poeple don't want their feelings to be hurt? You think they intentionally want to have you hurt their feelings? Fikirlah...
God gave us feelings and they come when He wants to give them to us. But it's up to us on how we want to react to those feelings. Think about it...
