When you’re happy and successful, the relationship between you and those around you is simple and pleasant. You and they are easily affectionate, friendly, and open to each other. You think they are good friends.
But when you are struggling, this is when you realize how good or bad the relationship actually is. You will also recognize the nature of those friends.
If you are stuck in fatigue and failure, they just sit there and watch you drown in your own misery, they are not your friends. They are not even those who worth your respect.
Because if they really like you, they will help you, by anyhow. When they want to help you, they’ll find the way, and when they don’t want to help you, they just sit there and find an excuse.
Even when they are incapable of helping you physically, they still can be with you, share, encourage you, and help you mentally. If they don’t do anything, they are just strangers.
