Wellness Tip for Peace: Friends are forever. Honesty to your thoughts and politeness to communicate can keep it stable.

It is presence even in absence, instead of absence even in presence. We are all busy and erratice because we have to work for our living. We are lucky enough if we have a friend or set of friends who are there for us when we need them. To keep the friendship away from malicious intention and impurities requires deep honesty, and the most effective way to say our innermost thoughts in a manner that our friends wants it to be. Guarding our emotions not to hurt our friend is ok but sometimes we cannot help it, especially if it will already requires us to sacrife our principle or "what our conviction" to certain issues are. We do not need to lose our self just to keep a friend because later on, this filed-up emotion of irritation will erupt like a volcano! So say it, be firm with it, BUT before you do it, know deeply the personality of your friend. Usually the easiest way to know a friend's principle is to ask them a hypothetical question, the first answer that he/she utters without reservation is actually the thought that he/she has. Well, only you knows if your friend is lying or not. But you will know on the extemporaneous and outright answer that your friend will utter! Be sensitibe and always check your presence of mind and not just the presence of your spirit in the situation.
