Title: Know your FRIEND?
Post by: irina on July 26, 2016, 04:41:56 PM

 “If you want to know who your friends really are and whom you should be hanging around with, all you have to do is follow this simple test.  Whenever you’ve just finished spending time with a particular person, ask yourself Do I feel better or worse than I did before?  No long explanations, no equivocations.  No excuses. Just ‘better’ or ‘worse’.  Then tally up the results and pretty soon everything will begin to seem very clear…It helped me surround myself with friends whom I love, and who love me.”

Irina madam,

Some of the time, it is difficult to come to a conclusion with a simple test. A person might be fake, opportunist and pretentious like Wickham in Pride and Prejudice. So actually time determines who is your friend. It is really unwise to accept someone unworthy( no matter how much scholar or wealthy s/he is )  as friend.  :P :P :P

Simple test is not enough but it's interesting.

".....Then tally up the results and pretty soon everything will begin to seem very clear…"
Sometimes it is really difficult to find a true friend by this simple test. It may take a decade(!) to recognize a true friend.
