Black and White

Remember to balance black and white

Whether this is

your situations,

your attitude,

your relatioships

Compliments and criticism

Encouragement and challenges

Remember a true friend ,

is not one,

who only supports and encourages you

through empathy and care.

But one ,

who is also honest and open with you

by challenging you and telling you,

at times where you do wrong

Sometimes you are not aware of what you are doing to yourself

Sometimes you will only become aware,

when you are made aware of it.

Through the help of others followed by your own reflection

A true friend will not just keep his eyes closed

And let you carry on causing harm to yourself

And let you carry on causing more pain into your life

Indirectly or directly

Remember that we all have agreements and disagreements

So if you disagree with what I agree on,

It is ok

But please take few minutes to stop and think,

whether there was some truth in what I said

Please stop seeing everything in black and white

Please stop keeping your eyes closed in denial

Please stop reacting to words as an offense

And try instead to use those

as a positive way for your growth
