So nice to have Real Friends

As we all know we are taught in life as small children to get along with others and this is how we learn to correctly function sociably. Even though sometimes I believe people often lack, that very much needed skill. It is socially correct to develop good skills to survive in the real world but some of us don't seem to grasp the meaning of being a friend or as some coin it a REAL friend. Let me just say that is takes a lot of effort to get along with individuals that are from different cultures or backgrounds mainly because we are all just that different and that is what makes each of us unique. If you really think about it it really isn't difficult to have associates as they come and go throughout our life. Often real friends have disagreements (we are all born to disagree) but there isn't really a need to go to war about what someone has said about you and so you learn to forgive. If you are in someones mouth all the time then you must be a very important person ; in the fact anyone that talks against another for any reason (should stop and look in the mirror) really doesn't have the right to judge or be critical. In life we have few friends but many acquaintances and this should be very clear to all that are adults. Friendships are earned, treasured and never wasted or thrown away so easily over words. I was taught that it takes a better person to forgive than one that holds a grudge. It is so easy to be pleasant and much harder to be hoarse and unkind besides that think of all the wrinkles you will save just by being forgiven. We can forgive some of the worse things but hold on to the ones that are less harmful to us. To quote a child's rhyme "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never harm me". Learn to be the better person because you are so much better than the person that is so hateful and holds grudges. SEMPER FI Marine Wifeys. Blog at you later.
