Friendship is defined as a state of mutual trust and support between two parties. In order to have a true friendship one must understand how the other person thinks. This is true in all relationships.   You cannot just assume their mindset is exactly like yours is.  This is why true friends are hard to find.  

Too many of us put our own thoughts and insecurities on those around us. We automatically assume that our friends will react or think exactly like we do.  Sometimes this is true, but not everyone is the same as we are.  For instance, what may offend you may not offend someone else.  What may flatter you may not be flattering to others.  Some people may want to talk daily and others may touch base with their friends a less often.  One way is not better then the other.  They are just different.

I have seen this happen too may times to me and others.  Nothing is more painful to watch the spark fade from someone's eye or watch the fire go out on a dream. Over the years I have asked myself why we allow other people's (or our own) thoughts to dictate what we do in our lives.  The truth hit me one day when I was told I would never achieve something based on an action I had taken.  I was told to give up and that my goal was unattainable...

King David knew the "sunken place" experience all too well. While he was out fighting battles another group attacked and raided the home of him and all his men. They took everything. Have you ever lost everything? Do you remember the feeling? 1 Samuel 30:6 - And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
