Thoughts about friendship

No matter how close you are with your friends or how sure you are that you'll never fight, I can assure you that there will be reasons for you to argue from time to time. It could be for a silly thing or a serious issue or for something that some find important and some not such a great deal.

It goes without saying that in cases of betrayal, like revealing your secrets to others, back-stabbing, being a bad influence or taking advantage of you, the friendship should be eliminated as soon as possible.

But what if something not so serious but still crucial happens? Then talk it out! I know it isn't the most innovative advice but it is the best one.

What can help you to have a peaceful and meaningful conversation is to be selfless. Try to understand the reasons that led your friend to act the way he or she did. Of course, you should explain to your friend what made you so upset. If your friendship is worth fighting for -and if you correctly pointed out a flaw in your friend's personality- that person will try not to do the same mistake or will try to change.

However, you as well should accept your friends the way they are with both their qualities and their flaws.

So, when you are fighting with a friend remember that:

1. It is very easy to get mad at a friend but extremely hard to stop loving him or her.
2. It is normal for friends to fight now and then without meaning that the end of the world- or the end of the friendship- is here.
3. Accepting and loving another person despite of his flaws is what makes friendships tough and magical at the same time
