One Friendship Earth

Good day my friend! Welcome to One Friendship Earth. Glad you're here. Hope you're gonna have a good time. One Friendship Earth is created to help everyone connect to the rest of the world. 

Friendship is a good start especially 
when we are bounded by our differences 
in color, race, religion, language, culture and tradition, 
socio-economic status, sexual preferences, etc. 
Help eliminate these walls and divisions 
separating mankind from one another. 
Make friends with the world 
and the world will be so much better!



Do you know how many friends you have? 
Can you count them all? 
If you can, 
then that means you only have a few. 
But for people who have so many, 
they can never count. 
They're like the grains of sand 
found along the shore of the sea, 
or the twinkling stars in the heavens. 
How fortunate we all are to have friends 
who are real treasures!
 Besides our family, 
they are very much needed in our journey 
through this ever-challenging life 
to be able to travel more smoothly and steadily 
without ever giving up or stopping. 
From childhood on 
they exist to be our companions 
in everywhere we go and in everything we do. 
We share our lives with them 
and time comes when they become much like 
our very own families. 


That's how everything progresses 
as each day passes 
and our relationship with them becomes much closer
 and closer that they become 
a cherished part of our whole being.
 And even though we consider our family 
to be everything to us already, 
we still need friends in a lot of ways
 most especially when our family is not there. 
They tend to be the ones we turn to 
when nobody else is around, 
they are the ones who are readily able 
to give us anything we need. 
At times we disagree with them, 
but that's all part of the relationship.
 And each argument makes 
for a stronger relationship ahead. 
Nothing's perfect, 
and this imperfection pushes us 
to make better of every relationship that we have
 including our relationship with friends. 
We need them and in turn, 
they need us. 
Our world and our lives will never be 
the same in their absence. 


No one is an island, 
and everyone needs a companion. 
That is what we all are. 
We were not born alone, 
and we were never created alone. 
We live and exist with a lot of people besides us, 
and we can't make it without them all. 
No matter how good or wise we become, 
we can never make it alone. 
Everything that we are is not perfect, 
and that makes us vulnerable and weak to anything. 
We can never survive with all our strength alone. 
We have to depend in other people too. 
Even the greatest and the mightiest king 
relies heavily on his army. 
We can be so wise but still 
we have to take notes of the wisdom of other people 
for we will never know everything 
there is to know. 
The wisdom that we will ever have in our lifetimes, 
even if we reach a thousand years old, 
doesn't amount to anything at all
 to the wisdom that God has. 
Ours will just be a speck of dust 
in the whole universe! 


And even if we feel we are strong enough, 
there are still others out there 
who are surely stronger than we are. 
We can never be that confident! 
That's why in our struggles through life 
we must look for friends all the time 
especially those who have good intentions 
and who are good influences. 
Bad company pretty ruins good character, 
and bad friends will just leave us 
when they already have used us 
in their selfish ways. 
They never remain long.
 They always leave and vanish 
without a trace most of the time. 
So we have to be very careful 
in choosing friends. 
We may get the wrong ones, 
but as soon as we know 
they are not the right ones for us, 
then we should be the very first to leave. 
Every moment spent with the wrong guys 
makes for a lifetime of regrets. 


But how are we as friends? 
When someone needs us, 
are we there right away? 
And how ready are we to help? 
These and other similar questions
 matter most in friendship 
for friendship should always be 
a strong and solid relationship 
much like family. 
Our goals should be to make a neighborhood 
or community where peace, 
love, harmony and unity exist. 
No one should be above another. 
Everyone is equal to everyone else. 
And each is a father, a mother, 
a brother or a sister to all. 
We may have differences 
but we can easily make up for them. 
It's hard at first, 
but our sincerity in creating friendships
 makes it easier and uncomplicated.


We live in a vast world of people 
amounting to billions in number. 
And it certainly is a big number to consider. 
Apart from that, 
our distances to each other 
is one big problem. 
Each place or country we are in molds 
and shapes us in many ways 
different to anyone half the world away. 
Our colors vary much. 
Some are white, 
others are brown. 
There are blacks 
and those that are yellow. 
There are a lot of languages spoken, 
and if there's no interpreter, 
we can never understand each other. 
Beside those, 
one culture varies much from another 
and there are so many cultures all over. 
And the variety of religion in the planet
 remains a tough one to address. 
So with all these differences, 
are we going to have a heavenly future ahead?
 Certainly yes, 
for our final destiny 
is a heavenly earth!


But for now, 
we should remain
in making good of ourselves 
and doing good to our fellow. 
Remember that everything good 
we long for in this world 
always starts from within ourselves. 
Our every action makes 
for our very future. 
And no matter how long 
we are gonna achieve that heavenly world, 
we will never give up. 
We will never quit. 
There may be times 
when we will fail, 
but that's just a part of it all.
 Make our failures a lesson 
to never fail in time to come. 
If ever we fall down, 
we can always get back up and continue. 
Remember to long for the light 
at the end of the tunnel, 
reach for the star that seems unreachable 
and do things deemed impossible. 
Let's make this a better world 
and start now. 
Best wishes!
