THREE QUALITIES OF TRUE FRIENDS

Three Qualities of true friends.

Friends are an important part of our lives.  In order to be true friends, they should have certain qualities.  Three qualities that a true friend must have is honesty, care, and loyalty.

The prompt is asking about qualities of TRUE friends.  This is very different from just friend you just hang around for fun.  True friends are family.  They will be next to you for a lifetime, maybe not physically but spiritually. 

The First quality of true friends is loyalty.  True friends never betray each other.  They are there for each other even if it is a situation where one could get hurt or get in trouble.  For example, if there is a fight and your friend is getting beat up and it looks as if it will get more serious, a true friend would jump in and help the friend, even if they still lose.  Of course, he or she will get hurt, but if that is what it takes to keep a true friend from getting really hurt, one must go for it.  It does not even matter who won the fight, what matters is someone helping someone in need.  Another thing that is common nowadays is spreading rumors.  I have seen a lot of people spreading rumors, false or true, in my school and in a lot of places.  It is very common; even fully grown adults spread rumors.  They do not even know if it is true or not, they just spread it and not even think about what’s going to happen to the person the rumor is about.  A true friend would never spread rumors like this because they actually care about the person the rumor is about and how they would think about it.  Rumors doesn’t sound very important but to the person it affects, it is VERY important.

            The second quality of a true friend is care.  True friends care about each other; whether they had lunch and dinner, whether they have worries or not, whether he or she is sick.  A true friend is like a mother, caring for her child.  Just friends would not actually care about these things and would just like to play.  Care is only present if there is love.  Not the love that boy feels toward a girl or the love that the girl feels toward the boy but love between friends.

           The last quality of a true friend is honesty.  This is very important, even for couples.  If there is no honesty, that means that there is lying going on and this will lead to fighting.  Honest friends would last longer than not honest friends.  Even if there is something that is secret, between true friends is should be shared.  For example, if there is a secret that friend number one knows and friend number two does not know, and friend number two finds out the secret and also the fact that friend number one didn’t tell him, he would be sad.  Friend number two will talk to friend number one about it and arguments will start. 

            These are the qualities of a true friend.  Although it is picky to deal with a true friend, it isn’t a bad idea to have one because it will benefit each other to have someone really close to share everything with.  Even just talking about a problem does a lot of help.

    

HUMANS GREATEST STRENGTH

Today’s prompt is to talk about what I think about human’s greatest strength. 

Human’s greatest strength is of course, intelligence. 

This is what separates us humans from other animals.  We have the highest level of intelligence compared to any living species on earth.  Most animals can’t even use tools in their everyday life.  Some monkeys were shown that they use tools but they are not even close to human abilities.  We can see that humans are intellectually at the highest level because society on earth today, is dominated by humans.  Inventions, ideas, government, society, all of earth is dominated by humans.

All living organisms will face different types of disabilities during their lifetime and humans are the only species that are able to treat their disabilities.  For example, when the eyes do not function as well as they are supposed to, humans get glasses or contact lenses to deal with it.  On the other hand, other animals, when faced with a disability, just deal with it until they die.  Some animals are treated for their disabilities but the ones who treat them are humans, which shows again the high intelligence of humans.

Animals do not even have a system of government which is the most basic thing that is needed in a population.  Some animals do have “government”, if it can be called as one, because there is the highest animal, the middle class animal, and the lowest class animal in a given population.  For example, in a lion population, there is only one lion that is the highest class.  The wife of the king lion and the family is the middle class and the others are lower class.  As you can see, “government” does also exist in an animal population, but it differs from human government by a whole lot mainly due to the reason that there are no rules or punishments.  Human government have laws that citizens need to follow and punishments that citizens get for now following the law.  This is what keeps order and peace.  Without laws, I can guarantee that society everywhere would not even last a month.  This is a smart thing to do which again, shows the superior intelligence of humans.

Another strength of humans is our ability to speak.  Other animals do communicate with each other but of course, do not have a definite language as us humans.  What animal speaks English?  What animal has a system of writing called the alphabet?  Nothing.  NO other animal has a definite and perfect way to communicate as humans.  Wolves can howl, dogs can bark, cats can meow, and this is all communication, but it all doesn’t have a definite meaning.  All they can communicate is things like “hello”, or I am hungry, or I am hurt.  Humans can say anything that is in their minds and people will understand.

Imagine if humans didn’t have the mouth structure and tongue that allows us to communicate as we do today.  It would be a disaster.  We would eventually make signs that would allow us to communicate but it wouldn’t be as effective as it is ours.  For example, how would we study in schools if we didn’t have the alphabet?  If we couldn’t study in schools, what would society turn out to become?  It would be a complete disaster.  There would be no society and everybody would live as an individual, not needing to communicate.
