Sometimes some of our friends tend to lose their way and turn from good to bad,thats when our role as friends begins. To at least try to help our mates to change their minds or at least do something about their mistakes. But the question is what are you willing to sacrifice just to help or save a friend?Are you willing to give most of your time?,resources, or even your life just to help a friend in dire need?

Friends who are worth fighting for deserve whatever it takes to save them. If it means money, time or what ever, then so be it. Wonderful friends are priceless and should not be taken for granted!

You got that right, there are friends worth fighting for and there are just who aren't at all.Friends can be really priceless specially the ones who are true and very much dear to you. We rarely find these kinds of people so better have as many as possible. Thanks for joining and participating hope to see more of your thoughts and opinion with my other topics as well

@ roldango, sometimes the friends you thought were too precious to lose and were worth any expense to keep, are often the ones that hurt you the most... and what will surprise you is your ability to heal from the hurt that inflicted and find ones worthy of that sentiment -that the next friend you find is one that is precious enough not to lose

I value my friend like they were my family. I only have one best friend and he kind of stumble upon in some not so good situations just like me before. So as a friend can do I guided and give him my good advices to make his life more better. But somehow he don't follow my advices and he ended up almost destroying his future. But still he is my friend and I can't turn my back on him so I started from scratch and have to spend some of my precious time with him. Just to remind him to pick up the pieces and start living life again. Good thing is that he followed my advices this time and he is doing well.

I agree true friends are very hard to find nowadays thats why i try my best to make them feel appreciated most of the time. And whenever i can i try to help them out as well, specially when they need it the most. I do help with money problems, giving advice and other stuff too for as long as i can . And i dont expect nothing in return too but true frienship.Thanks for sharing your opinion about this matter my friend

I would give my all for a true friend and done so in the past. Friendships are all about loyalty, and that is something I take quite seriously.

Yeah i have to agree with what you said, friendship is all about loyalty and being true to one another all the time. If you can be this way with your friends all the time im pretty sure they are willing to do the same thing for you too.Just like me im willing to help my friends out with just bout anything i can but i dont know if they are willing to do the same for me too.

I would be willing to do alot of things to help a friend but i would not give my life or my resources. I think that would be pretty extreme to do that. Happy weekend to u.

hi Getsome, I couldn't help but wonder just because she moved away why did y'all have to give up your friendship? It's very admirable for u to still feel that way about her. Welcome to mylot.

if a friend is very precious to me, and it was like a brother to me. I will definitely be happy to make sacrifices. any relationship there must be sacrifice, not only the relationship with spouse, siblings or parents. relationship with a friend sometimes needs sacrifice. anything done, if done with sincerity, the result will be good.

Im glad to hear someone say something like that, sacrificing something for a friend is noble no matter how small or huge the sacrifice will be. What matters is that it comes from your heart and your willing to take an extra mile just to help a good friend in need. Its always comforting to know that theres always a friend whose willing to listen all the time. Thanks for the time reading and commenting

Cool, that means your friends really mean something to you, then they are really lucky to have someone like you with them. Its pretty rare to find someone like you nowadays that is willing to be humble and remain true inspite of what is happening around him. And im pretty glad that i have a friend like you whom i can depend on

I have a lot of friends who are in bad situations because of wrong choices in life. But it don't mean they have turned from good to bad. I myself do mistakes once in a while. That's why I could relate to them, and could help or support them to whatever they're into. I have been here for my friends all the time they need me, of course sometimes I couldn't help them especially in financial matters, but I always make sure they could feel me supporting them in anyway I could. I would be willing to sacrifice my life for a friend, but the question here is, Who would be there for them If I would sacrifice my life already?LOL Saving a friend is not necessarily giving up your life.. By being there with them, to listen is a big help already for the people in distress. I give advices only when solicited.. sometimes of course I would give some reminders, if necessary.

no one can really gauge how much one is willing to sacrifice or how far one person is willing to go for a friend... i think in the evolution of the human being and his capacity for knowledge, add to that the technology available, we have yet to find a means to measure the limits of the human heart. it was once said that the heart is slow to learn, and often we surprise ourselves as to what we are capable of, really... but as far as giving help to anyone here's my best piece of advice, "Never lend or give away anything you are not willing to let go." if you are have done good by your friend, never expect anything of it... and by some twist of fate,sometimes, some of them may never appreciate it but if you are sincere then it will be for their benefit. trust me, i wouldn't be in mylot had i not bothered to genuinely care about a dear friend. and im still surprising myself...
