Only recently I have commented on a friends status on facebook. She was a bit upset and lost trust in a friend. Of course when it comes to facebook, alot of people give there advise and wisedom. I am proud of what I said and found people I don't know liking my comment. My comment is "You learn in life who you can trust and who you can't. People come and people go. But I will say this and every one can relate to this. There is only one person you can trust, and that is the person you see in that mirror when you look at it." What have you said to your friends that you are so proud of?

Nothing specific. I have found people post a lot of stupid stuff on FB. It's become a public sympathy fishing place where everybody posts something or the other to make others like them. I usually respond to posts which mean something to me, posts which give useful information either general or happenings in my friends life. I have to say that I am proud of what I write on FB. That is because I want my actual image be shown rather than something that I am not. If I find something offensive, I point it out. If I like something I really like it and not just to satisfy the ego/ pride of the person uploading something. bourne :)

It is undoubtedly so right. You can't trust because people change in time. The only person you can trust is yourself. Life teaches us so many things and it would be wise of us to learn from the events in life. It is said that you meet people in your life for three purposes. for a reason season and a life time. we have to learn from life who is for what reason. good day to you.

I agree that in this life we learn the people whom to trust and not. Also, truly, people come and go. Some go not by choice but because they have already moved on to the afterlife. But I am kind of concern about the idea that the only one we can trust is ourself. Even ourselves may betray our own selves. I believe, the only we can fully trust and can be assured that will never betray us is Jesus. But having said that, I am not saying we can't trust our parents, friends, lover, or someone you mysteriously bumped into an unfamiliar place who helped you with whatever. All I am saying is we can trust people, we trust because as people we need one another, we need security. But we have to be prepared that people may break our trust intentionally or unintentionally. We are humans. We do mistakes. We just need to guard our heart, and never lose hope to humanity, and be not afraid to trust. It is painful to be betrayed, but it is a lonely life if you will always be doubtful to anyone who comes into your life. This is what I think. To answer your question, the words of wisdom I recently shared to the people in our company is "Know your priorities. Be sure that you prioritize your family, friends, health, children, love, and the things that will fulfil your life even all other things in this world will be stripped away from you." I shared this during my speech in our daily morning gathering.

There was one time a friend told me about her relationship. I noticed that everytime we see each other she is always problematic about the guy. I told her that I think the guy is not worth the love she is giving him. It took me a hard time before telling her what I feel but Im glad I did. She took my advice and she's very happy now with another man. Being a friend is telling what you think is right or bad for someone who is very dear to you.
