Friend or Foe

Have you ever wonder about friends? Or the shit stirrers who would jump at any chance to ruin any goodness between two people? Though time is a good judge when it comes to long-lasting friendship or relationship, and all the fairy-tale talks about what matters truly which in reality is about trust. I have learned much about this topic recently, there is a handful of friends I know I trust and love, and taking them for granted made me cherish them even more.

A person's heart is always important because we rely on that basis to safe guard ourselves from ill intent of others and to appreciate those who wish us well.

Can a leopard change its spot?

The title phrase was referred by God to people who are accustomed to do evil and not good. In my years of encounterment, I was privileged to know good and well intended friends. I am aware that no one is perfect though we strived to be a better person each day.

It is perhaps our expectation we have on people that disillusioned our realm of what the 'Borg' would term it as perfection. I have been let down by my own shortfalls, and as hard as I am with myself, I know my struggle to be a better man will only spirial me upwards.

10 years ago, I was driven and a little over my head in terms of goals and ambition. My close friends would have known my potential for growth (and track record) but I was contented taking the back seat until a recent friend pointed out eagerily that I should be the one taking the front wheel.

I admit I have a problem in reconciling inner beauty as to external. I think God has a problem with that too since He is more concern with our souls and heart, but there are shining examples of individuals who have it all. Relatively, you might beg to differ, afterall, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Nevertheless, I am challenging myself to have it all this time. I'll take all your positive feedback and encouragements, and hopefully you will continue to stay with me once I emerged later in the year.

Wish me luck, won't you?
