My mind was obstructed in apprehend the meaning of friendship. Being seized by a whim, I called my brother for insights and clues. A guy who is younger than me of 5 years old, gave me his basic analysis of the meaning of friendship .I was blessed indeed by this voice afar.
“ It is common for a people to seek friends in community through someone’s apparent behavior of attribute”… A joke, a smile, a warm hand shake, a friendly eye contact, are giving a sense of approachability and acceptance as encouragement for step forward as a friendship beginning. “The choosing of a friend in beginning is simple, someone SEEMS to fit in with me”
Well. The meaning of friendship is more than that. Everyone knows that.
“Reject to behave frankness in intention to protect a relationship” Doubt of each other is common because you can’t speculate the trueness of someone most of the times. In friendship of little interaction, with little information, we use to assume the character of someone immediately in reason of self-protection. ‘I am surely will not take risk to tease someone who looked fierce, serious, feeling of smallness and bear grudges.’ Dare you? Besides, no one like to be frankness if she cannot surely she will be accepted. Eg: “I am a failure, I am very poor, I am liar, I am a sinner… so shame of me. We doubt we will not be accepted as the true face of us. We hide, we pretend, we doubt because we have no TRUST of people will accept us with LOVE of forgive, considerate and understanding. In fact, barrier of trust is stick to every relationship despite of time range and blood of connection. Because we unable to truly understand in someone? God never ask us to be wise and intellectual in order to understand everything and every people heart. But He ask us to hold on the innocent heart of LOVE. With love, there is no doubt, no blame, no rejection, no immediate assumption, no judgment…..1 Corinthians :13
“Mask ourselves with smile even hatred in heart, pretend of no grudge even war yesterday” In reality, hypocrite is necessary for perceivable peace of world. We have to learn to be a good pretender for world peace of systematic flow. We have to mask ourselves in name of politeness and respect. Want to be real? Let’s cast away the hatred, doubt, disagreement and behave in sincerity. How? Refer to love, the source of energy to forgive and passion to considerate. How to love? Refer to Jesus Christ. Rationality will tradeoff the innocent heart of believe, the faith in Christ, the faith in power of Love. Rationality makes us make comparison with each other, differences and status determination. As the day Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil (discretion), the tradeoff was running, sinning was roaring …Make this consciousness balances our faith with reality. As Christian, no faith abandon. Reality, we care but with conscience and love.
