But one simply can’t just stop living life because of the fear of being hurt. It is a common occurrence in life. Tao-tzu once said that “there is a time for everything in life” (roughly translated). This means there is a time for being hurt, there is a time for feeling pain, there is a time for feeling, just as there is a time for feeling happy, and feeling accomplished. It’s natural.

However, it is up to the individual to decide whether it is worth going through the pain to bring back that good friend. This is rather a testament to how strong and meaningful the friendship is in the first place. But don’t give up on a good friend just because you’ve been hurt. You’ll end up regretting it.

I like it.

i like this one better

good friends would help you up if you trip and fall

real friends you trip you and help you up and do it all over again

or this one too!

good friends would bail you out of jail if you get into trouble

true friends would be sitting next to you say “dang, we fcuk up big time”
