fact of life

hi rameshchow I read and reread that , yes I do agree.When we are up I think we also are happier and more loveable perhaps and our friends get to know the real me of me.When my son and I were really do wn,he was out of wo k, we got behind on the rent, were evicted we came to know just exactly who are real friends were. they both helped all they could but as they were renters could only]let us stay with them so long. thus I am here in Gold Crest retirement center, my son finally has a full time job and is still for now at Hope Haven with a free apartment with three other men roommates. I am so happy that our real friends were always there for us and we have always been there for them. rameshchow here I also have a lot of great mylot friends, I am sure you are on my list too. Those friends keep me coming back here as not just earnings but friendship is paramount to me.I have been supported so many times here when I was feeling down or was ill. I have always said if anyone needs myhelp here I am sure available too.

Hello I am agree with you. When we are up in the life than we have lot of friends and when we are down in life than we have only true friends.

What you have said is true just get down and see who sticks by you. GLad to have you for a friend also

I have some true friends too. They have been there for me when I truly needed them. And I in return will be there whenever they need me!

This is the fact of the society. If we can not change the this society, then we have to change ourselves. We must learn the way to adopt the fact in order to survive.

Some friends could indeed be like that. They are only there for you when you are flourishing in life. But the moment you experienced a major trial in life, they seem to fade away. I am lucky that my friends are with me through thick and thin. I thank God for them and also prays for them.

yes this is all so true, sometimes we don't find out who our true friends are until we hit rock bottom and I think what we must remember we must give appreciation back to them, sometimes people take such frienships for granted, they are to be treasured.

I feel the same way. I am very fortunate to have the friends that I have. Different types and some are closer than others but all in all they are good. When I am down I need their support and the true ones are there for me. I am thankful to have them. A good support system is very important.

This is often true. It's best not to judge your value by your friends, most of us have only a few good friends.

This is very true.

I am glad that you at least have some true friends. There are even some people who got no chance to have one at all. The fact is friends forever is very hard to find. If you got some of them you are really lucky as the truth is they can't be with you forever. If we always realized that fact we will at least not having high expectation when we make a fiend with others. I always bear in my mind that everyone around they are just temporary, someday they will leave me so don't expect they will be here with us forever. With that kind of thinking I will always treasure the time when I am having a good relationship with them. When come to friendship I always look at myself first as their friend before I can say anything about them..(^^)

I strongly agree with what you said, remember man's life runs in cycles, there are always ups and there will always be downs. Just to add what a good friend told me ( can't remember if I already said this in my past responses) but I want to share it anyway, since our life runs in cycles, " never ever kick a man when he is down" you'll never know when he's gonna come up again, have a nice day

Yes that is absolutely true. I have had to experience this already. It was fun having all the friends at all time but I knew my real friends only when I had fallen. They were still there to support me and be with me not like the other so called friends.

yes you right true friends support you help you fake friends gone when you are down is a valuable lesson in life ,when you are up in life you think you have great friends and when you gone down you will see how many real friends you have .i also have some good friends whit i hung up go out and do crazy things thas awesome see you soon my friends

I agree with you. Money brings friends but most of them are not worth it. If you can find that one friend who has stood by you in tough times, you have succeeded in life.

That is true. When I first went to college, I joined this theater group. The director of the theater company took me to a party at the University of Pittsburgh. On the way, he told me that people don't get to know you until you become famous. He turned out to be a famous Black playwright and I learned that he was mostly correct. I feel fortunate that I do have some friends who know me when I am down. And I am also happy that I have some great friends on myLot.
