We can say many things about friendship, that it is necessary, that it is built over the years, that it is the greatest bond of brotherhood, and so on, what we should never do is to sacrifice a good friendship by making a bad decision influenced by other people totally unrelated to this fruitful bond.
People rarely like to see happiness in other people's faces and out of simple malice pretend to spoil friendships for years just because they have not been able to strengthen their bonds with other people.
This inability of some people not to generate friendships should not touch us because we will be losing friendships that are and will be valuable to us and not to those people with petty behavior.
My good friendships are untouchable if ever someone pretends to sabotage it, when this happens I put a stop immediately and manifest my position with firmness, I like sincerity with everyone and I show it with my deeds, if someone gets upset because he feels that I have placed a stop he can take another direction since he will not be welcome to my circle of friendship.
If we do not take care of the friendships that we have worked so hard to form for so many years, no one else will, well so should the other person linked to the bond of friendship.
So our sincere friendships are respected because otherwise others will dare to try to break them and if we do not act later we will regret it and maybe it will be too late.
