An Honest Friend Is a Good Friend

"Oh my God how lovely you are looking  in this dress , pink color suits you so well" . A girl says to her friend . "Ah! look at you , you are looking like a rock star in your new hair cut' . A boy compliments his friend ." Your maths project is cool boss , you will sure get ten on ten on the chart", A friend tells to another.   But do they really mean it ? Are that boy and girl actually looking so good? Is the math project good enough to get perfect ten ?  Or their friends are saying this" just to please them" ?

Now look at the other side of picture." Your pink dress is  o.k but I think an orange colored dress will suit you more", a girl  says to her friend. "I am sorry bro but your old hair style was better than this hair cut ", a boy said to his closest friend . "Your maths project is nice but not good enough to get ten on ten ,you should add some more solved sums to it" . A friend gives advice to his friend ."Honest and frank opinions".

So what kind of friends will you prefer ? A friend who tells you every thing about you frankly and honestly or a friend who always praises you just to make you happy?'Think about it ".

                                           A poem by famous Persian poet "SAADI"
                                                 
                                            I am displeased with the company of friends ,
                                            To whom my bad qualities appear to be good,
                                            They fancy my faults are virtues and perfection,
                                            My thorns they believe to be rose and jasmine,
                                             Say where is the bold and quick enemy,
                                            To make me aware of my defects?             
                                                                                  - Aunt Mary       
     
God bless my friend

  2. Nice post Aunt Mary. I have one extra-special friend who is always ready to tell the truth. I seek her out when I need an honest answer.

  4. I believe I prefer the first one if I mean what I said. We should be encouraging each other. Honesty is the right words if does not discouraged your friend. It is how we say the words that matter.or maybe we can just be quiet:)

  5. First time here. And loved this one. A true friend is beyond any valuables. Don't know why, but always stumble upon the second category more.

  6. Good question. I believe that like many people I have many acquaintance but only a few true friends.

  8. While I do like it when my friends compliment me for my good traits, I would also want them to be honest especially if it would do me good. :-)

  9. Speaking about friends, I came to Gozo to visit my Granddad, and I am finding many Elementary School friends. It was long time I did not see them.
    I am not in contact lately. It is a bit difficult to find an access to Internet in the bucolic Zebbug!.

    We came to La Valetta for some things and I take the opportunity to say: Hey Auntie!!!
