Here is one more point about the friends...
Let's say that you have read my previous articles and you start to see sense in what I have written in there. And so you start to analyse your friendships and you realise that your best friend is actually "egoistic". And then he comes to you few days later asking you for some favour which you do not want to do because it is not completely fair with other people. But then... because he is your best friend then you would be ready to make an exemption and do it anyway.
So what will you do then ?
Will you refuse to do it and through this you would put your friendship in jeopardy ?
Yeah.... this is not an easy question... or is it ?
Probably before you read my articles you would do the favour for your friend without any hesitance but now there is something that makes you think.
But look... although it seems that this is a difficult question in reality it is all very easy.
Thus you should realise that whatever you do in your life should follow the principle of what is best for all. Otherwise it is best for you or the few which is nothing else but the ego. And thus if your friend comes to you asking you for a favour which benefits just himself but it hurts others then there is no need to think about what you should do... or is it ?
Obviously if you refuse to "help" your friend it may shake up your friendship and this may be the end to it but then if you don't stand up then you are supporting the ego and through this the abuse of life.
Now... remember... if your friend really cares for you then he will stop and start asking himself the questions about what made you to refuse his petition to "help" him. And then he will make the appropriate corrections in his life. On the contrary your friend will most probably get angry with your and he will become your greatest enemy for "betraying" him. But if that happens then this will be the proof that he does only cares for what is best for him. And trust me... you do not want to have this type of people being your best friend because it is just a matter of time when they would stab you with the knife in your back while smiling in your face.
