MEETING THE ONE
<p>There are different kinds of people with different mindsets, perspectives, attributes, and behaviors. Everyone wants to meet the person who is compatible. That friend who will understand them. That friend who is like them or who they want and expect them to be.</p><p><br></p><p>This is the mistake of so many. Some try to live up to the expectations of their so-called friends, losing their own personality. They live as slaves, being lorded over. Some lose friends because they can't accept them. They want them to meet their standards and, therefore, keep trying to change them, seizing every opportunity to point out their flaws. Although this is often not intended to harm, but rather to make them meet their standard of friendship, it ultimately ends in harm to one or both parties.</p><p><br></p><p>True friendship is achieved when both or all parties acknowledge each other's flaws and accept them, not by ignoring the flaws, but by focusing on the good side while helping each other become the best version of themselves.</p>
