Like watering a plant, we grow out friendship (and all our relationships) by nurturing them. Friendships, if they are not
continue. These relationships can be delightfully non-judgmental, supportive, understanding and fun. Sometimes a
ch
friend can bring out the positive side that you never show in any other relationship. This may be because the
pressure of playing a ‘role’ (daughter, partner or child) is removed. With a friend you are to be yourself and free to
change. Of course, you are free to do this in all other relationships as well, but in friendships you get to have lots of
.jk
rehearsals and discussion about changes as you experience them.
It is an unconditional experience where you receive as much as you give. You can explain yourself to a friend openly
w
without the fear of hurting a family member. How do friendships grow? The answer is simple. By revealing yourself;
being attentive; remembering what is most showing empathy; seeing the world through the eyes of our friend, you will
w
understand the
value of friendship. All this means learning family to your own or perhaps someone from a completely different
w
cultural background. Thisi s the way we learn tolerance. In turn we gain tolerance and acceptance for our own
difference.
