OK, lets go over this again; although we’ve talked about it before due to circumstances in our lives.
We all have friends; some on higher levels and some not so high. When do you know if you have found a truly great friend. One you can trust, be with, and depend on?
Simple - the battle question. Ask yourself this question: Would you take this person into battle with you? Think about what that means. Would this person fight for you? Have your back? Would they leave you to die and run for their life instead? Would they carry you out of the fire? Would this person be someone you would want in battle with you. If the answer is YES then you have a true friend; one you trust and one you can depend on.
If the answer is, “Well maybe or I’m not sure.” You have a problem. There are issues and you can either work on them or just realize this is not a true friend, maybe just an acquaintance. No big deal, just know the difference and you will be fine.
I have always also advised people not to try and spread their friendships to wide. In other words you cannot be a great friend to a lot of people as there isn’t enough time in the days to cover all of them and you can’t give yourself. It’s best to have a small, tight circle of friends that you can rely on and trust. This is basically human nature anyway.
Regardless, just ask the battle question and you will realize who are your true friends.
