I may be wrong, but I would say that at least 75% of being a good friend is knowing when to just shut up and listen. There is something about our human psyche that requires another person to give time and attention to us in order to feel validated, respected and appreciated. If you do not have someone to talk to just about ideas, feelings, dreams, frustrations, it is almost as if they are not as substantial.
So very true. I think at times we can diminish the value of true friendship. Most of us want a good friend, but at times we aren’t willing to be a good friend to someone else. Friendship can be elusive and requires time and energy as any viable relationship will. In the end it is worth fighting for. Just my 2 cents. 🙂
Well said, I have a new 7D…bought your tutorial. I am so glad I found your site through youtube.
