Sincere Friends?

It used to be the thing when friendship can be made easily. That was during the younger days perhaps the pre-school days. I'm not saying that it can't be done now but it used to be that friends can be made at a short period of time and they are sincere to be your friend. I'm sure no one can deny that they have at least once in their life have people coming to them and being friends with them for their own reasons.

The reasons? Well, it comes in various forms. It could be perhaps for money, perhaps for getting some sort of higher status among other people because you are popular or perhaps because that person is wants to mix with smart people and you fit that person's bill of being the 'ideal' one to mix with. So my point here is that you'll never know but one thing's for sure, there are people who be friends with you for their own certain benefits.

Now once again don't get my wrong, I'm not trying to be some sort of a 'Grinch' here and say that "Nah, your close friend might be just using you", "That friend of yours is not sincere". NO. That is not what i intend to emphasise. It's just that I would like that highlight that there are such people and they do exist.

Maybe you are wondering, why do I want to highlight this? Simple, I just want to remind everyone to be sincere to your friends. Never that them for granted or take advantage of them because you'll never know what implication the 'small' gesture of yours may bring to your friend, him or her.
