One long time net friend suddenly came out of the blue like a lightning bolt and sent me this Real Friend Test. I wonder how one such person can be a Real Friend to me when in all honesty, she/he even hardly speak to me, let alone say Hi or say Hello. I wonder who invented Hypocrisy.
In the spirit of diplomacy and respect, instead of circulating this as forward and reforward, I am posting it here. So whoever will read, will read. As simple as that.
This is GOOD...I expect it back too. I especially like the last sentence!!!!!! (this is blackmail).
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your 'Pepsi drawer' with his/her foot!
A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend shoulder is soggy from your tears.
A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book..
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it!
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!
A simple friend reads this e-mail and deletes it.
A real friend passes it on and sends it back to you!
Pass this on to anyone you care about......
if you get it back you have no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together, like our Circle of Friends.
Today I pass this on to you.
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you..
(In the last sentence, are we going to send forward to just anybody and tell them they are friends? Friends of Forward? Or forward Friends? In this regard, I feel being considered as a Forward Friend. Or a friend in name only.) How ironic is life can be in my eyes to the world of friends).
INSTANTLY WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER, YOU'RE REQUESTED TO SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS, INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU.(See!)
"When you are down to nothing ... God is up to something..
'Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile".
Happy Real Friend to Me as I am and will be to you.
Cheers!
