“Whatever period of life we are in is only good to the extent we make use of it, that we live it to the hilt, that we continue to develop and understand what it has to offer us and what we have to offer it. The rewards for each age are different in kind, but they are not necessarily different in value or in satisfaction.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

What does it mean to be a “good friend”?

16 Apr

Perhaps the hardest part about truly being a good friend is not remembering the birthdays or finding the perfect gift.  Perhaps it is not finding the perfect way to express your version of friendship, but finding the perfect way to accept theirs.

It is truly accepting the other person; accepting them for who they are and where they are at. And when they don’t meet your “expectations” it’s forgiving them and loving them anyways.

We all need a lot of forgiveness, don’t we?

In search of truth, myself and freedom from illusions,

On the land of love, “You refuse to need any particular person or to be special to anyone or to call anyone your own. – To see at last with a vision that is clear and unclouded by fear or desire.”

“What does self change entail? – First, insight. Not effort, not cultivating habits, not having an ideal. There’s another great task, understanding.”
