He who is thy friend indeed,
he will help thee in thy need.
If thou sorrow he will weep,
If thou wake, he canst not sleep.
Thus with every grief of heart
He with thee doth bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
faithful friend from flattering foe.
Shakespeare

Mohammed Ali once defined a friend as someone who would truly die for you. Everyone else is just an aquaintance

When it comes to sharing information with a friend, how much do you share? How much do you keep secret?
This has happened to me a few times. Recently, a Friend talked about their Jehovah's Witness friend (not I) in conversation, and I just sort of listened in silence. Is your past as a witness something to tell someone? Perhaps a friend?
I've shared before, but I'm no longer really friends with this person. We've grown apart and I just feel like he just knows something dirty about me.
Now today, I shared with my boss whats troubling my life. This took place in a ride in his car. We discussed a raise for me. Was this personal or business, but I have also partied with my boss. The work atmosphere is more team like, so I wouldn't really call him a "boss". -

If you have a real true Friend you would not ask them to die for you. If you where a true Friend
you would not want them to die for you.
