The Best Kind of Friend
A simple thought. Who is the better friend? Is it the person who tells you what you like to hear, or the person who tells you what you need to hear?
Is the friend the one who lets you go over the cliff, or is he the one who stops you before you go over?
The best kind of friend is the one who will tell you the hard truth rather than the pleasant lie. The best kind of friend cares enough to stop you before you take an unfortunate course of action. The best kind of friend will honor your confidence and keep your secrets. He will not ridicule you for your humanity, nor betray you for any reason. The best kind of friend cares for your well-being.
If you have such a friend, you are most fortunate. Sometimes the only thing between you and disaster is the best kind of friend.
