It is really painful to have received words of dismay from a friend especially from whom you have considered very special to you. Someone who is almost your sister. I am gifted with a lot of friends, some of them may not be my constant companion but most of them are whom you can lean on.
It is just so frustrating to be hit by someone you do not expect. Friends are usually there to listen and to give advice especially to those who are in pain. Sometimes friends sympathize but friends are not suppose to give an order. A friend does not insist of anything he or she feels right about a problem. It is a basic character of a friend to show respect – respect about the feelings of a friend.
A friend is someone you can count on, not someone who counts every effort exerted to another. If you are not sure about the implication of the words you are going to utter better keep them to yourself and think further. Try putting yourself to your friend’s shoes but remember that you are not the same. Nobody is perfect, the world is neither perfect. Do not assume, ask instead. Things can be resolve when you talk it over. If you really want to avoid your friend then you can do it silently. You need not shout it out publicly just as to earn other people’s approval of your thoughts.
Time heals. I am sure things will get back to normal in His time, just learn to forgive and eventually forget.
