Confirm Genuine! 99.999% pure!

One question that is always on most people's mind. "Who is ur Genuine Friends?" Is there a good gauge or some indicators to show that? In this competitive world, it is always good that we are able to differentiate the enemies from the good friends so that we can build genuine friendship and stay away from those that basically want your throat.

I learnt of one simple way to gauge it but it requires wisdom which takes time to build up. And I am still learning, nope I am not a wise man, I still made some mistakes now and then esp. recently, but let's not go into that.

To differentiate is very simple. Genuine good friends want the best for your life. They want you to improve and grow. They don't want your throat. They only want to see improvement in your life, simple as that. So good friends are those that point out your genuine mistakes, how do we know it is genuine? Firstly, you have to check and see if the mistakes are made largely by you, this requires wisdom.

Once you have to wisdom to see that the mistakes are made by you, the next thing is to have to courage to admit it. Most people fail in this part, which can be easily attributed to human nature, since human nature depicts that we blame other things for our mistakes and then forget abt it. THINK for a moment, those people that never admit mistakes are made by them, blaming other factors for it are usually very isolated, does not have a wide social circle.

Now you have to COURAGE to admit your mistakes, the next thing is to learn from them and never to repeat. Like that you would have met the objectives of your friends pointing out your mistakes. Only from learning from your mistakes, you are able to improve on your life which your friends want to see.

Enemies, well basically, if the law permits, they would want you dead, to put it explicitly, but we live in a world govt by law, so that is out. The next thing is they want you to fall behind them and to do that would be to distract you from your true mistakes. They 'smoke bomb' you by complimenting you so that you do not realise the mistakes you made. Or they 'smoke bomb' you by pointing out mistakes that are genuinely not your fault at all. This will distract you from improving yourself and even be pre-occupied finding a solution to 'your' mistakes which is not your responsibility in the first place.

Now, my opinion is that this is definitely a good gauge but definitely not the only gauge you should use. Think abt it. That is why friends who are reading this blog, if I happen to point out your mistakes too explicitly, it is because I treat you as a good friend of mine and wants you to improve. I can understand that you will be offended at first but please keep in mind that Genuine Friends want you to improve.

Cheers!
