Think on these things

By Joyce Sequichie Hifler 

We agreed two days in a row. The third day we didn’t agree. How do we judge our friendships? Do we rate them by the number of things we see eye to eye on or by the one thing we did not?

We agreed two days in a row. The third day we didn’t agree. How do we judge our friendships? Do we rate them by the number of things we see eye to eye on or by the one thing we did not?

Friends are true friends when they can disagree on something and not let it matter. Every person has his own opinion. If he closes his mind to everything, especially outside opinions, his thinking may become a little narrow.

On the other hand, disagreement is the very thing that determines the stronger of the two. There are principles involved and if someone’s freedom is abused it will affect both sides. Sometimes friends are best friends when allowed to go their own way in the opposite direction. It saves wear and tear on the relationship, and maybe one day understanding will be more important than just opinion.
