A Committed Friend

Some of us enter into relationships either romantic relationships or friendships based on what the other partner has to offer. In most cases among ladies, they always prefer to befriend guys who can give them many goodies and favours. Such ladies disappear immediately whenever a slight problem occurs. Most people accept the axiom that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Some people leave their long time friends because of a little problem or setback, they only stay with people in green pastures or people living on bed of roses, such people don't have any commitment to the relationship they have with them.

Personally I have witnessed many things in this life, how people leave their friends who probably are in some sort of problems. Many people love ordinarily not deeply because of the benefits attached to it. That's why you see many people divorce each other once the inherent benefits that attached them together begin to wane or disappear. Are you one of the people willing to stand by your partner or friends in times of troubles and adversity? Can you ensure with your partners till better time comes again?. If possibly you can't have a huge commitment in your relationship, it's better not to deceive your partner into thinking you are committed to them.

If you want to be a friend indeed, you must not turn a blind eye to any problems being faced by your friend (s). There are many ways you can help people you call your friends. Everything is not just about money and money only. You can also support your friends mentally and in person. Instead of neglecting your friends during problems, you can stay with them and cheer them on. One of the reasons why people commit suicide in relationships is because they probably were betrayed by their partner, they must have had so much trust in their partner, thinking they will be there for them in their woeful times only to be shunned and disappointed.

What goes around comes around. If you can't possibly have a committed relationship, then you might not really get hold of a good friend who will stay with you when you have problems too. Helping one another help to form a strong bond in relationships. Relationships are not built on the bed of roses alone, it must also have stand the test of time. During wedding ceremony, both partners vow to be with one another either in the rain or in the storm, they make a vow to stay together during the good and the bad times. Why is this so? because marriage can only last if both partners are committed to each other, so is relationships too even among friends too. Are you willing to help your friends grow? or are you in the duty of making him or her worse?

If you only have friends who are only interested in your success alone and are not interested in your challenges, then you've got no real friends. A friend must be supportive all the time. Most people are egocentric when it comes to building relationships. They want to receive the most from the relationship without giving much back. Relationships should be based on reciprocity. You can't possibly reap where you did not sow. Don't turn relationships into an opportunity to rip the other partner off. Don't turn your back to your friend in the days of troubles. A true friend is much precious than diamond. Living with the best friends can make life fun. When people have good friends who are supportive and trustworthy, their hearts gladdens and in so much joy because true friend is rare. I always make sure I support every of my friends in need.

If you get hold of a good friend who is ready to be with you and make you better, don't lose them.
