True Friends

Friends come and go, but only true friends stays...

True friends are those who are willing to go through ups and downs, laughter and tears.

No matter how rough the road can be.. only TRUE FRIENDS will willingly stand beside you supporting you and encouraging you not to give up.

Only True Friends will teach you the rights from wrong.

Trust...is essential to true friendship. but to trust a person.. he/she must gain your trust.. in the world today, you can't trust a person easily. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will end up being spread the next day! Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Without them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away.

True friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle. In true friendship, unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends.

Real friendship looks at the heart, not just the "packaging." Genuine friendship loves for love's sake, not just for what it can get in return. True friendship is both challenging and exciting. It risks, it overlooks faults, and it loves unconditionally, but it also involves being truthful, even though it may hurt.

Friends come and go, and if they go.. all you can do is just appreciate the memories they've given you, may it be good or bad. You're not going to lose anything.. No! you're still you! and you are going to meet more new people in life, perhaps better ones.. I believe, everything happens for a reason.

Powerful Quotes of Mother Teresa.


"Keep the joy of loving God in your heart and share this joy with all you meet especially your family. Be holy – let us pray."


"Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow has not yet come.
We have only today.
Let us begin."


When a poor person dies of hunger,
it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her.
It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed


If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.


Before you speak,
it is necessary for you to listen,
for God speaks in the silence of the heart.


Give yourself fully to God.
He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.


Speak tenderly to them.
Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile.
Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well


The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy


Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a great thing.

Karma

In the teaching of Buddhisms, the law of karma, says only this
"For every event that occurs
there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first,
and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant
according as its cause was skillful or unskillful."
A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions ;
An unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things.
Events are not skillful in themselves, but are so called only in virtue of the mental events that occur with them.
The law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them.
Being fully ethical is said to be impossible for those who make a distinction between self and other and show preference for the perceived self over the perceived other, for such perceptions inhibit being fully responsive.
Being fully ethical is possible only for those who realize that all persons are empty, that is, devoid of personhood.
