“What is a true friend?” I asked my mother one evening.
She looked at me and smiled, and then she said, “Someone who makes you better than you are alone.”
“But what if you can’t be better?”
“That is impossible my dear, now off to bed.” I sighed, a little bit unhappy with my answer.
The next day, I went to school, and during recess asked my best friend what a true friend is. She looked at me, and then smiled.
“Why, the perfect example would be you and me.” I thought about that and smiled. I thought that was a decent answer.
While
our friendship wasn't perfect, we still were good friends.
Occasionally, we would fight about something, but we would always make
up, and laugh about it afterwards.
That
evening, I thought about something. Is a true friend somebody who is
always there for you? Or somebody who makes you better than you are
alone? Or somebody who cares?
Suddenly, for who
knows why, I laughed. All friends should care, and always be there for
you. You are always better with friends than you are alone, so that
still leaves one question.
Why shouldn't all your friends be true friends?
