I used to hear people say " I have lots of friends" but anytime I hear such person saying such a thing I laugh not out of pride or judgment but because i've come to understand something very important.
You only think you have lots of friends but there are few if you check it well. The reason you believe otherwise is simple, you have never placed demand on these people you call your friends. Wait until life throws something big into you in an emergency that's where you will know who your friends are.
When the crowd disappears, when the food stop with bringing and when those we used to say we're in this together they vanish, when you're in need of them then you learn the thing between friends and acquaintance, one or more of the same much immaturity.
Maturity is believing that you have these friends. Nobody on earth really has lots of friends, you have many people that you admire, you have companions, you can't fans, you can't follow us but when you talk about your new friends, there are few, that's why white people often have few friends it's not that they are arrogant or anti-social it's because wisdom have teach them to be selective.
You begin to understand that not everyone who smiles are always with you. We learned that loyalty is not funny those numbers. Discover that many people that don't even know what friendship don't know what friendship is. They are close to you just because you share mutual friends doesn't make you someone's friend and those who share your enemies aren't necessarily your own friends they are just maybe partner in conflict.
A true friend can always connect with you with that any emotions that avian without any expectation of entitlements towards you. A friend someone who is committed to you, someone who's present is always fed even when they are far away, you can call them any time, at any hour and they will show up for you. They don't ask what do I get in return.
These are people that are called true friends. Think about it in the bible before his generation Jesus had stunned the flowers and three disciples, three close companions but only one true friend John that called his beloved that came true for him.
Let your friends be a reflection of those principles, not the result of your loneliness. When you have a future new friend is far greater than having a crowd of people pretending to be close to you. In the end it is not just the number of people around you that matters but the quality of these yards that stand besides you.
