My internet flash drive is working again, which means I can put up all sorts of random posts on a more regular basis!!
I’ve been reading an interesting book called “O Zahir.” (In Engilsh: The Zahir) It’s by the same author who wrote “The Alchemist,” Paulo Coelho. There’s a phrase that’s said in the US that goes something like, “Good friends are the ones that are always there to help you celebrate, but true friends are the ones who are always there even through the bad times.” This book brings up the opposite idea: that good (or not-so-good) friends are there during the bad times so that they can feel better about their lives and get attention and sympathy for whatever unfortunate thing has happened to you, while the true friends are the ones who are there to help you celebrate, and truly enjoy your successes without feeling jealousy or resentment about your good fortune.
