Hangover remains...miss my friends



Thoreau gave us his idea about the relationship between friendship and trust in his "Friendship" - "true friendship is based on trust, honesty and sincere generosity of our hearts."

In my opinion, faith and trust build up sincere friendship, and trust is the cornerstone to friendship. I believe that the unique approach to good friendship is trust. However, it is easy said than done. Sometimes, when I argue with my friends, we hurt each other by saying: "you don't deserve my trust", and we lose the trust of the other side. The irrational thinking leads to the consequences of breaking up the friendship.

Since I realized that friendship is built on mutual trust and mutual understanding, I have the sense of a crisis on the friendship with my friends when I find that we lack trust between us. Sincere friendship is like our health. Only when we lost it can we realize how valuable it is. Trust and understanding are very important to friendship. Where there are no trust and understanding, there is no true friendship. Sincere friendship is healthy, which is built on mutual trust and on the basis of mutual understanding.
Nowadays, friendship has the high degree of vulnerability, in the face of money, promotion, social reputations, etc. However, it is the treasure that we need to cherish. We should let the bridge of friendship be broad, smooth, and strong. The bridge is mutual trust.
Different people have different kind of friendship, and the fruit of the tree of friendship is called trust. The fruit is only for the person who irrigates the tree of friendship. Friendship needs nourishment: some nourish it with money, some with sweat, and some even with blood. So, friendship seems very greedy, and it will not be satisfied with material things.
Nevertheless, friendship is the most simple for us to get, the easiest and the most extravagant nutrition is trust. Sometimes friendship is so fragile. A casual remark will cause the collapse of the building of friendship between us. Why? It is because that the friendship of that kind lacks the steel frame of trust. How to build mutual trust with each other? Friends should share opinions and passions. After watching an movie, there is exchanging of views among the friends, showing what they love and dislike. This is the first step.With mutual understanding growing between friends, they can entrust each other to do something. This is out of trust. It is usually the case: when you want to entrust an important thing to your friends, you would think about this question "can I trust him?" When you are thinking this way, you can never find mutual trust with your friends. Trust is out of mutual understanding. As Mencius said, "It is good to become acquaintances, but it is better to know each other. It is the best to know other by heart." If you know your friends well by heart, you can trust him or her. You can understand each other well, and you know what can be trusted to your friends. It requires emotional distillation of moral development.

Interpersonal communication must be proper, no promiscuity friends. When you find your heart-to-heart friend, you find the trust between you and your friends. Friendship is mutual. If you offer your trust, you will gain trust from your friends. Trust is based on principles of friendship as well. You must adhere to the principles to tell the right from the wrong. Without this principle, there is no real trust for a healthy friendship. I cherish the hard-won friendship, and try to make the friendship lasting for a life time.

When chatting in public, you'd better not to disclose your friends' privacy when the topics are about privacy.This is something which I think I failed miserably.....making people close made me trade the wrong path of delving more than necessary into their private space. Do not use it to seek help and comfort. Since it is a trust, we must guard against the privacy of our friends in public exposure. You should not betray the trust of friends. Your attitude of friends should always be humble, and listen to your friends carefully when talking with them.

...Sometimes, tolerance is a magic power to establish trust with your friends....dont know whom to blame in this space for the collapses...

All in all, trust is the corner stone of good friendship, which needs mutual efforts and mutual understanding.
