Does love start with self?
March 27th 2010

We all love the people we esteem dear to us, our family, neighbours, schoolmates, peers. Though, it is not always that these people return the love shown to them, but we love them regardless. When it comes to situations whereby we are requested to go out of our way to accommodate our friends, should we do so blindly, despite, the realization that the same is not often done for us in time of need? Should you be a friend to the end or end a friendship you think is not being reciprocated? Will you be there for someone who isn’t usually there for you as much as you are for them? The Yo! took to the streets to find out what you guys thought.

   

Mervin: Awa. I scratch my friend’s back so that when my back has an itch they can return the favour. Your friends ought to be the ones you can call on to have your back scratched in good and hard times. A friendship cannot be a one way thing. If it is, it isn’t worth it. Best you just stay by yourself.

Aishia: You have to be there for who’s there for you. I love my friends and would do anything in my power for them. I would go out of my way for them, not expecting anything in return. Because sometimes the people you do for in life are not the ones who will do for you, but you just have to keep doing good and it will come back to you.

Greg: I don’t have friends. Friends come around when things are nice. When things turn sour, they’re gone. I’d encourage anyone that the more they can stay by themselves the better for them. According to Bob Marley, sometimes your best friend is your worst enemy. That’s the person who can easily mess you up because they know things about you no one else knows. I had my fair share of experience with them, so I know what I am showing you. No matter how much you do for them, when they have to dig out your eye, they will.

Joanne: In the first place, I won't consider that a person is a friend, if they don't check for me the same way I check for them. I would just be normal towards them and I’d stop doing special things for them, you get me?

You've heard what these people have to say. What do u think? Post your opinion below!!
