Favorite journal response:

What is the most important to you in a friend: loyalty, generosity or honesty? why? provide two detailed examples (one from real life and the other from a text)?

What i think is most important in a friend for me is honesty because honesty is kind of like a circle of trust, sharing and secrets because when  there is honesty in a friendship, everything goes well. if your friend tells you something she thinks you can keep to yourself, then you should be able to trust them and be honest to them. if there is a group of friends, and you only share a secret with one of them, its better to tell the others too because at some point they will find out eventually which might ruin your friendship with the other people in the group of friends. so i think its better if you share your secret with the people you trust and are close to rather than having them find out later on.

An example from real life: once, in a group of friends, i wasn't honest to them about everything, and i didn't tell them all every secrets because i thought they weren't helpful or wouldn't care enough. But after all of them found out that i wasn't being honest to them and  didn't trust them enough. I was scared that i was going to break my friendship with them but they were nice enough to give me another chance and i knew that if i ever keeping something from them, my friendship would totally be finished with the people.

Its hard to find an example from a text because most of them are not always honest because sometimes it shows the good side of it and sometimes the bad side. even though most of the time they keep stuff from their friends and aren't honest about but somehow in the end everything is OK but i still think honesty is a important key to friendship along with loyalty and generosity!
