Let me begin with what it means to be a friend. A friend is an associate who provides assistance, backs or supports something among others.
Have you ever asked yourself why you have a friend? I strongly feel that a friend should meet certain standards. It is true that you cannot choose who your blood relatives will be but you have an opportunity to choose who your friends will be. The reason I am saying this is because friendship is so important such that it is an avenue of impartations. This may happen consciously or unconsciously. It is in friendships that one is imparted with character, values and not to forget spirits.
I know this may not sound exactly as some expected but it is true to say spirits are also transferred. Have you not seen a well brought up lady when she mingles with three fornicators the highest probability is that she will be the forth fornicator or she might end up transforming them due to her character? In this case, the strong man wins.
What I am trying to say is this, let us not just make anyone your friend just because they dress well or maybe because you feel there is chemistry between you. Many things happen in friendships. It is also wise that you maintain the friends who challenge you to become a better person and those who support your dreams and visions.
Friendships should be an avenue for growth and the right transactions.
Choose your friends wisely.
