REAL FRIEND VS FAKE FRIEND
A friend may not always be a friend. It is only when you reach a crisis point in your life that you find out just who
your true friends are. Of course, we have our best friends who are often closer to us than our family. They share all
of our secrets and know us inside out. We also have “fair weather friends” who help us to celebrate and only arrive
on our doorsteps when they need something from us. Apart from those, there are invisible friends who aren’t really
there at all. You may really believe that you have at least one true friend who cares about you and will stand by
you through the good times and the bad. But just consider this: If you were to lose your job, your car and be on the
verge of losing your home, would they still be there for you? Would they pop round for a cup of tea and a chat for
no other reason than to see how you were doing? It is in tough times like these that you discover just who your true
friends are, when you reach out for support during your darkest days and find that they are still there to support you.
