If a man discovers that a close friend has become hostile, or if he has developed suspicions about the genuiness of the friendship, he should not jettison or break that friendship in an impulsive manner. He should think about the positive and negative aspects and also verify whether such suspicions and anxietis are borne out by facts and evidence.

If, by chance, the friend is very genuine and there is no basis for either that friendship becoming bad or for entertaining suspicions about the bona fides of that relation, then it should be realized that the friendship should be nurtured at any cost. By breaking a long enduring good friendship, a man would be losing many things.. by way of social and spiritual benefits, and broken friendships often could cause serious financial losses too.

Bridges and Fences should not be broken impulsively.. It is very easy to get angry and shout at someone and break all conncections.. but such action would cause serious harm and damage too.
