laws of friendship

April 24, 2010 2:33pm CST
Have you ever wondered that friendship are guided by certain laws? It may come across like a rude shock to all those who feel that a friendship that is governed by laws is no friendship at all. But that is the case actually. Don't you follow the rule that you should not go on an overdrive of advice and I-told-you-so afterthoughts when all your friend needs is a patient listener, or you stop yourself from overshooting the unwritten law that you must not speak bad words of the person your friend is dating, rather you would suggest positively and never get downright criticism. If these are not laws of friendship, what are? Some people feel that friendship means you have to be there for your friend with a plan of action. Have you thought about those times when your friend knows what to do but just feels hesitant? Then your friend needs is your encouragement, and I feel the best way you can be there is actually doing something rather than telling the friend what needs to be done. This is actually actions speaks louder than words. Your act of bonding will cement your friendship for ages.

I wouldn't say laws, but friendship certainly requires a code of conduct. Listening to your friends is one of the important thing in the friendship. People normally solve their problem by themselves. But when they are unsure, they need somebody to give them that final push by way of encouragement and support.

This is an interesting theme. I agree you. people also live in law's restrition. You are his friend, you can share with his unhappiness and happiness, you also can give him advise, do not tell him what he should do or have to do.
