Dear Marilyn, In a sense I agree with all you said it is very correct and true but there is also another side to the coin!!
That is if the person getting the toy and knowing you wanted it first or the friend knowing you were in love with the person they ran off with , after getting the toy or the boy/girl kept flaunting it in your face and kept dangling the fact they got it from you or got it first and making you feel hurt and upset all the time in while in thier company! That is when it is very hard to be kind to them and you actually need to distance yourself from them because they are not true friends who would do these things knowing how it would hurt you!! Real friends rejoice in others life accomplishments and don't strive to do things that would hurt another! I had a friend who knew I was in love with a guy I dated casually on and off over the years and even tough it had been many years since we had gone out when he asked her out she said no because it would hurt me and she knew I still cared for him! End of story! That is a true friend! We still haven't connected again but it nice to know he's still out there somewhere!
Thanks for the interesting topic!
As Always, God Bless!
Sincerly, Susan
