Friendship has never been a bad thing and never shall it be. Sometimes, we are caught in a tight decision of making friends or not.
To the best of my knowledge, friendship is a sacred ochestrated relationship that the Lord Almighty has predestined for us. He wants us to enjoy this relationship both with him and our fellow humans.
Never accept this popular saying that says"Human beings are bad". Opening up to this statement can dismiss all the good people that will come your way.
In as much as we have bad people, we also have people with good hearts.
It is good to make friends, good ones of course. Friends can influence our lives greatly. Friendship is a seed. A seed has the potential to bear fruit.
So why this dilemma? Should I make friends or not?
The problem has never been making friends but making good friends. Friendship is a right - you have the right to choose your friends. If someone cannot influence your life positively, you cannot call that person as a friend.
Learn to make friends always but most importantly, learn how to make good friends.
Aristotle once said "A friend to all, is a friend to none ".
Do not be shy to move away from bad friends. Your friends are a clear reflection of how worthy you are.
Maintian good friends and treat them well. If you do these, you will enjoy the fruits of true friendship.
I hope you have been blessed reading this short piece.
