Friends and Motives

Have been hanging out with my best friend everyday and, having a great time - how about you? Friends are like eating from a box of chocolates, with your eyes closed, never know what you'll get! Actually, stick with the box of chocolates! Seriously, friends come on all different levels of connecting from the friend you say hi to, to the one that is bonded to you under all circumstances

Its a lot about positioning friends either close or just as hello friends Being too close can create expectations that may not be forthcoming. Few are even their own best friend and, will likely treat you no better than they treat themselves. Value friends and value acquaintances, through discernment consider which friends are better as acquaintances and which acquaintances are better as friends.

Be your own best friend and always and solace in that as people come and go throughout life lling the memories with joy and yet, sometimes with disappointment. Always know that many have motives for friendship and not all motives are bad, but some will prove to amount to false friendships once the motive, conscious or unconscious, is fulfilled or, was an illusion anyway.

The open of heart with no motives but sincere friendship, become vulnerable to what may amount to vulture friends who pick at what satisfies them until they and no more of what that was.

Fair weather friends are as common as leaves on a tree that eventually turn color and fall off. As one loves oneself more, attracting fair weather friends becomes minimized.

close friends are treasures to be valued. Lovers and relatives are best as ongoing friends but, some become acquaintances or perhaps even strangers as does happen with friends in general. Often friends are for a time and place and, open doors to gifts in the moment and, may pave the way to a very different future.

Divine friends are found in all the many qualities of love, be it compassion, sensitivity, and all heartfelt blessings.
