A PERFECT FRIEND

As time advances, it seems impossible to have a perfect friendship. Immorality issues, cut
throat competition and other strife have forced a wedge between humans. Woman to Woman,
Man to Man and Man to Woman; it doesn’t matter. So many friendships don’t last, are
incomplete or are taken for granted. It seems a pure, unconditional genuine friendship is
virtually impossible. Greed surpasses and a me-first attitude prevails which results in hurt,
deceit and malfunction. The perfect friend shines in a crowd, the perfect friend looks out for
my interests instead of only their own; a perfect friend is honest, loyal, spontaneous, and an
excellent communicator. If you search diligently you could find the perfect friend.

A perfect friend would listen to me instead of speaking all of the time. A perfect friend would
love me as much as they love themselves. A perfect friend will reciprocate what I do for them
or at least try to.

A perfect friend will be honest and straightforward. Honesty is most important to me. I really
hate liars. The truth may hurt, but a lie can kill a friendship. Honesty shows that you respect
and value your friendship and leads the way to trust and goodwill. Dishonesty is a major
reason why people dislike lying politicians and used car salesmen. Big lies are guaranteed to
eventually catch up to you and undermine all relationships. No one likes to be lied to.
Honesty pays.

Communication is the key to a perfect friendship. It is paramount in any relationship. There is

nothing worse to me than when a friend or acquaintance send an unclear signal and then they
get irritated if I didn’t get it. A perfect friend is able to express their opinions and beliefs and
invite me to do that as well. I am bound to get hurt, even if it is non intentional. A perfect
friend will be contrite and learn from that experience trying very hard to not repeat the
offense.

I like to be around the perfect friend who...
