Friends are always there for us, whether it be good, or whether it be bad. Many people believe having a “good friend” is being able to ask them to do anything for them, and their friend will oblige. Personally, I don’t believe this is true. Friends should always be there for us when we are in a compromising situation, to comfort us, and make us feel better. This does not mean doing someone else’s ‘dirty work’.
If they get involved in a situation they don’t belong in, it could benefit poorly in their postion, as well as their friend who dragged them into the problem in the first place. I don’t believe friends should “go after” who ever messed with their friend, rather be there for that person and comfort them.
I’ve learned this from experience that if you get involved in a situation that doesn’t concern you personally, you should simply keep your distance and stay loyal to your friends in a SAFE WAY. Being a “good friend” doesn’t necessarily mean you fix the problem yourself.
People have to fight their own battles, no matter how hard they are. A little help never harmed anyone, but getting involved is a different story, there is a very fine line dividing “helping out” and “getting involved”. People never realize how strong they really are, until being strong is the only option they have.
Life unfortunately is a cruel thing, and it’s unfair and dealing with it can be very stressful, but friends are there to ease the pain away from stress, not simply making it go away.
