What is true friendship? When a friend makes a mistake, should I tell him/her or let it go? That is a question that has been confusing many people. As for me, I consider it is haste to make a conclusion without careful thinking. It should depend on circumstances such as what is mistake and the impact of the mistake that can bring about.
If it is only a little fault that will not lead to the unconvertible consequence, but in turn could remind the significance of something that the friend should understand, as a sincere friend, one should let the problem go. Maybe it will lead to the temperate misunderstanding between friends; however, in the long run, further benefits to the friend will eliminate the immediate disadvantage. For instance, at one time I forgot to return books to the liberty and my friend Mike knew all about these, but he did not tell me, because he would like me to realize the essence of being on time. At first I complained, but thinking in a while, I understand what his real meaning and appreciate his thought.
However, when it comes to a critical or emergent event, it is undoubtedly necessary to give a effective and warmhearted advice to friends. Let us take another friend Jane of mine as an example. Jane was always a excellent student before she was addicted to net game. Nevertheless, when emerging in web game, she began lose herself and her grade fell behind directly and quickly. As one of her best friends, I reckon that it is imperative to pull her back to the routine life and study, and therefore I talked with her for a whole night, explaining the adversity of net game. By these means, she was moved by my sincere spirit and promised that keep away from net game.
In sum, from the evidences provided above, we clearly learn that it should depend on circumstances to decide whether respect friends' willing even they make some mistake or point those mistakes out as soon as we detect them. With regard to those minor problems that will not lead to the fatal result but could remind friends, we should keep them existing. As to those mistakes that may have devastating consequences, we should take effective measure to prevent them happening from the cradle.
