Be my friend not my frenemy.

In the tapestry of life, friendships are woven with threads of trust, loyalty, and compassion. Yet, when fortune's fabric frays, many relationships unravel, exposing the dark underside of human nature. Some friends turn us into emotional indentured servants, exploiting our vulnerabilities. Others demand payment in kind, even from those grieving and bereft. And still, others forget the memories we shared, the laughter we laughed, and the tears we dried – erasing our very existence from their minds.

But you, dear friend, be different. When fate's winds blow in your favor, use your influence to uplift, to support, and to empower. Be the sunshine in someone's stormy day, the calm in their turbulent night. Though the world may be tainted with selfishness and amnesia, your kindness, empathy, and generosity can be the beacon that pierces the darkness.

So, weave your friendships with the golden threads of love, compassion, and loyalty – and never expect anything in return, for the beauty of true friendship lies in its own reward.
