Do You Have True Friends?

If I were out on the battlefield of life I wouldn't want someone around me pretending to be my support when all they are really doing is trying to use me as a shield so they don't get hit.

Do You Have True Friends? Reviews Consumer & Travel Family Culture

My motto in life used to be 'Trust thy self'. When in time of danger, you are your best friend.
As a parent now, I obviously trust my family and kids more than I trust myself.

Friends True You Do

Relying on someone is really hard to me and that is why I can't say I have a true friend that would put him/herself in front of a bullet to save my skin when I need protection. Life became a huge battlefield due to a world full of greed and ignorance. Selfishness tends to close everyone into their nutshells they are so afraid to leave unless life demands it and when this demand has to do with themselves.

When the world turns into a more altruistic place, where people think about others and about their needs more often, there will be a way to make one or two true friends. But I still believe in mankind!

Friends True You Do

I agree with that quote, but I do want to add something to it. I'd like my friends to tell me when I'm getting into trouble that it's my own fault, and support me in fixing whatever has been done. Sometimes the trouble can't be wiped away, but it can be moved on from.

Do You Have True Friends?

Interesting topic. To me friends are just people that share with us a part of our path in life. We should not charge them with responsabilities that they are not meant to bear, don’t you think?

I don't think the point is about imposing responsibilities on others. Don't you think there are 'friends' out there who freely choose, sometimes at their own expense, to support the people close to them? It certainly happens and the world is richer for it.

I'm a little saddened by some of the responses in this thread in this thread. Sure there are a lot of fair weather friends out there but I'm happy to know a few people who have come out to bat when they really didn't have to.
