Selflessness is actually very important in friendship coupled with loyalty and the rest, most people don’t understand that. I’m still learning to be a better friend. Great joy comes from knowing your friend needed help and you were there to help. I always say, it gives me joy to be at the giving end than the receiving end, even when I’m not in the mood, it’s not convenient for me, I always try to be there.
True, when you’re not receiving the energy you’re giving, moving on is the ultimate option
the aspect of listen and not condemn struck me. Not because I don’t listen but sometimes I can be a critics of situations, constructive one though. Something happened to me recently. A very good friend of mine wanted my opinion on a radio Ad campaign he wanted to start running. To be honest that Ad was a total crap, but I think I spent so much time criticizing and condemning the Ad that when I started profering actual solution, he was already too overwhelmed by the bad review and so many negatives. ☹️So from now on, solution is first before critics. 😂 But this doesn’t mean I will sugarcoat what is bad cause I also realized some ppl run to you not because they want to hear the truth but for you to rub the sad truth some sugar. Apologies for the too many write up 😢. Let me come and be going.
Lmao! I like the 'Too many' write-ups. They are often the honest ones.
I also agree with you, constructive criticism is always the way to go. That way, people see the good and the bad but are not too distracted by the bad to appreciate the good.
I've just always felt as though 'Practice what you preach' is a cliché term that holds people up to unrealistic standards and one-sided expectations. If not, why do we all know better, but somehow are still grossly imperfect? If we all practiced what we preach, we will be saints and angels. So, maybe the point of humanity is in trying to constantly be what we already know we can be. The major problem is 'not knowing' enough to preach. The second problem is not being awake enough to see.
Friendship is not as easy as it sounds
A lot of work must be done.

Thank you for reading dear.
Though no one practices what they preach
And this is a very selfish generation where selflessness is preached against
This was a beautiful lovely read 👌🏼
