One of Life’s greatest joys is to have someone you can call friend. Likewise, one of life’s challenges is to be a friend to someone. Becoming a friend to somebody is different from having a friend. Being a friend is about offering oneself to another. To have a friend is about accepting somebody into one’s life. Offering and acceptance are the key elements of friendship.
To be a friend requires you to open up, to be unmasked and to be known to another person. To offer one’s self in friendship demands acceptance of the risks and pains of being hurt, betrayed or rejected. You should be ready and willing to take the risk in order to experience the joy of being a true friend. You have to be open in order to understand the challenge of being a friend. Be a friend. It is one of life’s secrets for staying happy.
