True friends

           Today’s topic relates with friends. What is the three qualities of true friends? People think about this topic at least once in their life. Friends, in my perspective, are the most important thing that you need in your life. This is because you can rely on them if you have hard times, you can also share good news with them and laugh together. Now, the three qualities of true friends that I think of is trust, help, and share.

           True friends are the important factor in a person’s life because they not only are next to your side whenever you need them, but also they are ready to hear all the stories. The first quality of true friends is trust. Trusting a person might be hard, but if you know that you trust a friend, that friend is a true friend. I thought about trusting a friend and I came up with this conclusion that if you trust a person enough, you can trust them with your life. I thought of this as being on a cliff and someone holding on to you. If you trust a true friend, the friend won’t ever let go off your hands. However, if you don’t trust that person, you won’t be able to risk your life or give the chance away. Trusting is one quality of true friends.

           Another quality of true friends is helping. Helping is far the most important quality in my opinion. True friends will help you anytime no matter what. When you face difficult time, you always need a hand to rely on and a shoulder to rest your head on. True friends are the only ones who can provide a hand and a shoulder when you have a difficult situation. When I was in Korea, I had a friend who I thought was a true friend. However, when I actually needed his help, he wasn’t there. True friends will always be next to you no matter what happens.

           The last quality of true friends is sharing. This is also important because to be a true friend, you need to share your feelings and thoughts to them and try to relate them to yourself. A good or true friends start with a conversation, actually all relationships start with conversations. When you talk to someone, you always try to look at it on their perspective. This is a good quality of a true friend because if you share your feelings, the person would also feel the way you are feeling. There is a saying that if you share your happiness, it doubles, and if you share your worries and sorrows, it reduces to half. This is true because if you share a good feelings with your friends, it will make you and your friend both happy. If you share your worries and sorrows, they can take that feeling and try to move on with it together by suggesting resolutions.

           Friends are important in a person’s lives. There are friends who only try to get friends because they want to use them, and there are friends who are truly your friends. In distinguishing them, there are three qualities that I follow. Those three are trust, helping, and sharing. If you can do all three of these, then that friend is a true friend.
