In the past,it was easier to make friends and keep them,because you knew your friends from childhood and were born and brought up together.Now a days people are shifting out for various reason like work and other related matter.You have to deal with new people everyday and sometimes when you become friendly with people they cause more havoc in the long run,that you almost loose faith in true friendship.People carry vicious tales and stories,if you are not careful you may get caught in this which may cause discomfort and hatred among friends.So I have decided on a golden rule to make friendship,never be too open with your new friends,till you know them very well.This is a difficult task but due to many bitter experience I am trying this new method and now I pray over my new friends that with the grace of Almighty,that we may be tolerant and loving in our needs and difficulties,instead of finding fault with each other.How many of you agree with my idea?

Hi I agree and i have learnt this with experience. we should not be too open till few years. I have seen such people so stopped trusting them. But again there is a limit for everything. we cant go on bearing them if they just use us in times of need and leave us when their work is over. But the sad part is many are like this today.

I have learned to depend on the Almighty for friendship and ask his guidance in all my relationship.Now I do not get hurt,when a selfish friend take advantage of me or talk behind my back for I have the Almighty as my best friend..

Yes u are absolutely right, the times were certainly different those days when people were aware of the importance of friendship in their life. Nowadays things have hugely changed, people have become more materialistic and selfish due to which they try to get their things done from u and in the end leave u.

yes i agree those days relations were given much importance but now its completely different. people see how the other person is useful to them and vice versa.

Friendship now a days is based on the fact how much you can benefit from your friend? Friends can ditch you also for greener pastures.

I think that is fine. We should really be careful on who, to trust. Not all who presents themselves to be good are really that good.
