Should I even try to give advice?

Let me try to be honest,

  even though I know a bit of deception will slip in.

Sorry.

  It was such an easy line.

Anyway,

  where was I?

Oh,

  yeah.

I guess it goes back to the honesty thing.

I can't lie on this one.

It hurts.

When a friend tells you,

  how can you respond?

I dislike giving advice. I believe everyone decide their place and life. Sometimes we must share advice. I try to make them make their own decisions. A very good poem. Left a lot for the reader to think about. Thank you Jon for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you, sir. Most of this was filler. The last four lines were the entire message. I do tend to ramble.

Rambling is cool. Sometime we can ramble a masterpiece.

the best friends are the one who tells the truth, not just what we want to hear.

I have a good group of friends. We can be brutally honest to each other.
