Thank you for reply Zahra!
We've seen some people who are not similar and maybe they are completely different but they are friends. We've seen some people who are similar but they are not friends.
There is an important question . Who is the most similar one to us ? Of course it is ourselves , but are we the best friends for ourselves ?
We need to see reflex of ours on the others' hearts .
How do we think about a mirror which reflect us badly , too bad to be able to know ourselves there ?
what could be our feeling as we find out it is doing it sinisterly ? it is enmity.
Let me say 2 points here:
1-Why can't we be the best friend for ourselves?
Did I get your idea correctly? You mean that we can’t be the best friend for ourselves?
2-About some people who aren’t similar to us, I want to say that we may search for some one who isn’t similar to us because the friendship of 2 persons who aren’t like each other can help them to be closer to a complete person, because their behavior can be complementary.
I mean it is a truth that our behaviors are following our hearts but sometimes we can't follow it well and there are so many factors which can affect and direct our behaviors not to follow our hearts.
It is possible we are doing some behaviors but our hearts are something else It can reflect other hearts without thinking about behaviors.
All of hearts aren’t shiny enough.
The first stage for cleaning is this that we must be aware about impurities.
But how can we be aware about it?
Let’s start from the beginning:
In the first, God has given us a pure heart full of beauties inside it. It was such a shiny that every dust liked to make it a place for itself. Heart couldn’t protect itself against them. So, it needs that a defense system companies it. God knew it well, so he sent mind with it. As time went by, heart became shinier, so it needs that mind be alerter.
Whatever we try to increase our information and learn more, it helps us to keep our hearts shinier and away from every dust.
But here, the question is this:
Which information?
My dear, we must know about those dusts well, to could protect our hearts.
We can use our mind in this field, and also our friends who are able to show us impurities.
Hello Darius,
I believe real friendship has to go in a slow and a long process.
Like what we learn (as I remember) in the characters of the Little Prince. The Prince and the pilot has gone through process before they consider themselves friends. Get to know each other, their good qualities as well as the bad in them. At first the pilot couldn't understand the nature of the prince but as TIME goes by, when he started to examine closely the behavior of the prince, he started to understand him and like him. As his fondness of the boy grew, he also felt sympathy to him. Happiness and contentment even in the slightest gesture of kindness from him. He learned to love him. He thought his welfare being. Wanted him to be safe always and be happy always.
I learned from you my friend, that our friends are the mirrors in our life. They are the reflection of what we are. Our ideals, thoughts and feelings reflect to them. The mirror in which we can see ourselves, or the person of what we want to be.
As I relate it the story of " Little Prince" I think the pilot at first doesn't want to be involved with the little prince. He tried at first to push away the little prince because what the boy's said about him are true. And truth sometimes hurts......but set us free. In this, we can say that pilot hate or annoyed by the little boy, he is hating his own reflection in his mirror. But as get to know this reflection of his, he then slowly and eventually accepted it. Liked it and love it.
We sometimes hate the reflection of what we are seeing in our mirror (friends---because those only true friends are the ones who have the courage to say who you are and what actually you are or the errors in your doings)...
So...criteria as to our friend to become our friend is if we able to see ourselves in them. Like the mirror, we are able to know of our "ugliness" as well as the "beauty". The reflection of who we are and what we want to be. And the person to whom one can freely express his "true self" because this person is no other than...but himself too..

But let me say something about FIRST IMPRESSION please.
I agree with you. It’s very important. But I must say that it can’t be always true.
