Hello guys every one of us has friends and all of those friends of ours we have special friends and all of those special friends we have best friend. Though some of us don't like lots of friends for their own reasons, but we have really friends or only one friend (the worst). If you really don't have even one then maybe you're not a normal kind of human being. This special friend of ours is someone like more than our own biological siblings. I am a very friendly person but I never remembered in my life (even once)that one of my friends, best friend, came to me for their own voluntary help. I mean in time of my life's crisis, big problems and trials which my few "closed friends" knew about it, not even one of them voluntarily offered and extend their hands to help me bear with it. Well, I don't know if we had the same fate... But in your case guys, are you expecting voluntary help from your "best friend" from any of your life's troubles and big problems after you told him/her? Can I get your share on this? Am just expressing my sentiments... Mobhomeir here..

i could be luckier than you. though i may have lots of friends, from all sorts of life, and some best friends, i am very thankful that most of them are very helpful, especially with the problem we are facing right now with my son.

Hi mobhomeir! It has been a longtime since I have had very very close friends. I have a million of people I enjoy talking to and see almost daily but my job prevents me from having very close friends and so does my past experiences with them. I have been where you are and it is very disappointing to know that someone you would do anything for does not share the same feelings. I don't know if I would know how to act if someone extended that kind of help....I would be very surprised.

hi daddy, you sound a bit upset...i hope by this time you are already fine. sometimes, some of our friends didn't give some voluntary help (specially financial matters) coz even themselves have a problem with it? hehe just kidding! well on my part, i thin i do have a friend before who have helped me without me asking from him..but it was a very long time ago and no one have done it again till date. hehe well that time we are just talking about our sentiments and to my surprise the following day, i already have what i needed... but i am not someone who expects things from my friends or even relatives, coz again, the more we expect, the more we get hurt. we can be considered real lucky if we manage to find even one true friend. true as in true in its real sense. so daddy, how may i help you?

There were things that you must feel it and experienced it first to let your mind be opened to reality. A situation where in you would realize you have NO RIGHT to say anything or something against what she/he feels or what she/he did until you yourself passed the same what that person experienced. I mean, sometimes we were surprised and could asked ourselves "why she/he did that"? "On that simple problem she/he did that horrible thing"? We could not say that because we're not in their situation. On my point of view, I would not blame those people who get-off their lives due to some problem that they could resist anymore. It is because serious problems would not easy to bear. It matters on how you handle and have patience on it. I have no right to cursed those people who kill to survive because not all people in-jailed are born criminals. Most often than not those people "inside" were victims of circumstances that they were not able to avoid it. If you don't know how to handle properly your serious problem and trials this would lead to your distractions. PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE with God's guidance are the best tools to fight all whatever problems and trials we may encounter in our lives. Thanks iloemi for responding..

I have a few close friends who would do just about anything to help me. I know this from experience, because they have done anything I needed. I am disabled and I need help doing certain things. My one friend comes out once a week and helps me with house cleaning or whatever I need done. I was always the type of person that didn't ask or accept help. I wanted to do everything on my own. That has changed because there are so many things I can't do for myself. It is nice to know you can count on someone else to help you if you need something. I think they know I would do almost anything for them also. The problem is there is not much I can do!

Whoever that friend of yours that keep on coming weekly must be credited much. If you count him/her as one of your real friends I think the more he/she thinks of you. I salute those kind of friend. Can offer a hand without expecting anything in return based on what your physical situation. He must be your real friend. I guess we have different kind of burdens and liabilities. Mine is different as well. Thanks for responding my friend...God Bless us always... Mobhomeir here..
