For every friendship

Friendship is a precious bond and it's a shame if it has to end and be forgotten.

However, quarrels often colour the bond of friendship even though it has been established so long and closely. Actually it's a natural thing.

When it happens. Sometimes a person becomes confused to take steps. Until the relationship with the best friend becomes cold and neglected. Finally, friends can become strangers.

There are many cases of cracked friendships. Making the closest people like strangers and sometimes even hostile to each other ...

This article will discuss four things that are worth trying to repair cracked relationships.

.....

*01. Remembering beautiful moments.

Of course everyone who has a best friend must have a lot of time that has been passed with his best friend. Well remembering the beautiful moments that have been passed together, can be a cure when you are fighting with your best friend.

For example. How we share pillows for naps. Time chatting together.

Eating together. Sharing muniman. When being ignorant together and various other beautiful and exciting things we've been through with him.

There is a saying. Because of a speck of indigo, the milk is spoilt. Are you going to

Letting go of a close relationship that has been established for a long time must be lost just like that due to an argument.

When you have a fight, you will usually be silent. Not communicating like people who have never known each other. Funny, isn't it? Letting these conditions drag on, is clearly an inappropriate action. Even though fixing it is not as difficult as imagined.

*02. Remembering merit

There are many people who have contributed to us. Whether we realise it or not. The sincere ones will not demand anything in return for their service to us.

A friend usually has merit to us. And so do we to him.
And someone who feels he has self-respect will not easily forget the services of others to him.

Merit is not just about material things. It can take any form.

When a quarrel hits a friendly relationship. Remembering the services of friends is a useful step to reduce anger. So that the mind is clear again to then make yourself encouraged to improve the relationship.

03 *remembering the benefits.


Actually, this third one is not so good. Because there is an element of interest. It seems insincere. But of course it is appropriate and useful to glue back a friendly relationship that has experienced a rift.

Remember how useful friendship with him is. Self-suggestion that losing him is something that can deny the various benefits that we have been able to get because of our friendship with him.

For example, being friends with someone who is diligent. We who are not too diligent can catch his diligent nature, right? Well that's what it means considering its positive impact on us in friendship with someone can help us reduce anger when the friendly relationship experiences shocks.

*04. Bearing in mind the loss.



This is similar to point number three.

Usually to a best friend, a person shares their complaints and various secrets. Losing a friend who knows many of our secrets is a real loss. Although of course, it is not necessarily that our disgrace or secrets are exposed by him. Because after all, we also have a trump card. Remembering this kind of thing is a step that should be tried to motivate yourself to immediately rush to repair the bonds of friendship that are experiencing a rift.

It's like two countries that are hostile to each other. Spying on each other spreading secrets. Of course this will not happen if we are friends.


All that has been mentioned above are simple steps to dispel anger, ego and all the negative emotions that make us reluctant to repair friendly relations when there is a quarrel or rift caused by various things.

The key to all of the above is. Never be ashamed to apologise first. Especially to your best friend

Apologising will not demean someone, right? Especially to someone we have considered a friend.

Remember.A true Friends are people who are happy for your happiness. Sad for your sadness.
