S1E7 Friendship
from Life Workshop Hosted by Mo Nazari
Mo claims that loneliness or, having no friends, is the major cause of death, more than smoking, alcoholism, poor diet and so on. To battle loneliness, one needs friends. Friends are those who are not your enemy, they celebrate your successes and get sad when you feel down. Secondly you have something in common with them. Some friends are good companions, while not being able to help in every way, are still there next to you. While others are more helpful and resourceful but do not give you the fuzzy feeling of a good friendship. These are a few tips which Mo would give people to help them build friendships. If someone wishes someone else ill, they could never be a good friend to anyone. Jealousy is when you hurt seeing others succeed, envy is when you wish to have their success but never wishing them to lose their success. Friends don't judge you but will correct you when you are wrong and are genuinely honest while pointing out your flaws. If you feel down, I'll be more than happy to give a hand to come up, but if you expect me to come down and stay with you, you are on your own. If you don't like someone, try to get to know them first. If you still don't like them, get to know them some more. don't right off people too quickly. Trust comes at two levels, 1. They have your best interests in mind. 2. Your best doesn't suck. Q: What's the definition of a good friend to you and how many good friends do you have. At times of loneliness and/or difficulties who comes to your mind.
