… is not a friend at all.
Have you ever heard this saying? It makes sense, doesn’t it?
Isn’t it odd that one can be your friend and your rival’s, your opponent’s, even your enemy’s? You can, of course, be kind to all, but not a friend to all. I am not talking about social media friends, for in this case you can be a friend to millions. Online frienhip is exactly what it implies “online”. I am talking about real, close friends who you can trust, love, agree, or even disagree with. Perhaps that’s why true friendship is a rare gem, too hard to find and too precious to keep.
In fiction, and in real life, true friendhip could take you by surprise. An old man might be a young child’s best friend, a man of the world might be a saint’s, a prisoner might be his keeper’s, and an animal might be a man’s. In all cases, its the quality, not quantity that makes unique friendships.
Wouldn’t it be better if this friend of all should be a passerby after all?
Perhaps you can change the saying and add whatever you like.
A friend to all …..
With all the best wishes,
