Tag: Friendship

We often talk about this friend and that friend and my friend and our friends. In Dublin City one might hear on the street or in a pub, “listen here my friend” which translates to be careful or else. What is your definition of a friend? I am not talking about people who you may just know. Can you count how many real friends meet your definition? If you have a real friend hold onto them and ask yourself what do you bring to this friendship. One thing not to bring might be to place your expectations on them, as you might be disappointed. I read this definition recently, by William Shakespeare. “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
