Dear FrankSonnerberg,
Real friends are the shining treasures of our lives.But founding and getting a real friend is not so easy .But some people easily get real friends .They are really luckey.Your analysis is really good about real friends.Thanks for this analysis.
You’re right, Munir 🙂
Relationships require investment and sacrifice.So, choose wisely. Some folks gloat over the number of friends they have and treat popularity as a gauge of self-worth.That’s why I say, “While the number of friends may feed your ego, it will never satisfy your heart.”There’s nothing more rewarding than a true friendship.
Thanks for taking the time to write.
