Friendship is.....

... being a cushion (or a punch bag for that matter) for your friend, even though it means allowing him/ her to place his/her smelly foot on your belly....


... being really upfront with each other. Friends are transparent to each other, and if we have to lay the cards on the table, we fight it out once and for all.  


... nudging each other after the big fight. We quarrel, but we reconcile too. We forgive, and we forget.


... sometimes, seeing eye to eye. Working together towards a common vision, we are likely to have the same values, driven by the same passion. Friendship is often, one mind in two bodies.


... not seeing eye to eye in many matters. Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.


... not being afraid to give a constructive reminder kok on the head. Better he or she be told off by me, than by others.



... being a mirror image of the other if the kok doesnt work. Having a taste of one's own medicine is always cruel but experiential learning always seem to work better.


... watching each other's back. There is no 'I' in a 'Team'.


... looking beside you when it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, because you will always find your friend there...


... being a pillar of support no matter what happens. A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.


..... accepting each other's differences, even if the other is clad in dirty sand and mud all the time...







Are you a friend to another?
