UMIT 4 Friends forever
[对应学生用书第74页]
Friendship is absolutely essential to people’s life. A man without friends is an angel without wings, whose life will suffer in the long tolerance of loneliness and depression. Friendship is the mother of our soul, who’ll warm her kid when hurt occurs. We have much to share with our friends in life, trouble, excitement, bitterness etc. So, it’s great to maintain a genuine friendship.
It takes many special qualities to make a friend. Understanding should come first. Only when we get a better understanding of each other will we obtain a genuine and meaningful friendship. We may find our hobbies of common interests. This feeling of strong liking gets us closer and closer.
It also takes a special kind of love that seems to know no end. Never hesitate to show your heartfelt care and kindness to your friend when he/she is in trouble. Love is not selfish. Love is endowed by God that we should treasure all our life.
Tolerance is the third essential part in friendship. We are absolutely different persons. This individual distinction may cause conflict between us in every aspect of our life. Don’t care yourself too much. Try to tolerate him/her in an introspective mood. Saints are not perfect, let alone those ordinary people like us. Afterwards, we should get a good communication.
Understanding, love and tolerance are the first three essentials that come to an authentic friendship. Other qualities are also concerned such as thoughtfulness, trust and patience. Remember, friendship is your spirit’s guard and treasure it.
