Bản dịch tham khảo: Bạn có một người bạn Carole King

Khi bạn buồn phiền chán nản Bạn cần sự quan tâm giúp đỡ

Và chẳng có gì đúng đường cả Hãy nhắm mắt và nghĩ về tôi

Tôi sẽ sớm đến bên bạn

Để làm sáng lên màn đêm đen tối nhất nơi bạn Chi cần gọi tên tôi

Bạn biết dù tôi có ở nơi nào nữa Tôi sẽ chạy đến bên bạn

Dù là xuân, hạ, thu, đông

Tất cả những gì bạn cần làm chỉ là gọi tên tôi Tôi sẽ chạy đến bên bạn, tôi sẽ ở đó

Vì bạn còn có một người bạn.

Bài đọc:

Mọi người ai cũng có nhiều người quen biết, nhưng không ai có nhiều bạn cả. Bởi vì tình bạn thân thiết thật sự thì không có nhiều; và có nhiều người dường như không thể có được tình bạn. Để cho tình bạn được thân thiết và bền vững, cả hai người bạn phải có một số phẩm chất rất đặc biệt. Phẩm chất đầu tiên là tính không ích kỉ. Một người chỉ biết quan tâm đến lợi ích và cảm nghĩ của riêng mình không thể là một người bạn

thật sự được. Tình bạn là mối quan hệ hai phía, nó tồn tại dựa trên cơ sở cho và nhận, và không có tình bạn nào có thể trường tồn, nếu như chỉ có một bên cho và một bên nhận. Tính kiên định là phẩm chất thứ hai của tình bạn. Một số người dường như không có tính kiên định. Họ nhiệt tình theo đuổi một sở thích, nhưng chẳng bao lâu sau họ cảm thấy chán nó và bắt đầu cảm thấy bị cuốn hút bởi một mục tiêu mới nào đó. Những người không lập trường và không kiên định như vậy thì không thể có được tình bạn bền lâu được.

Lòng trung thành là phẩm chất quan trọng thứ ba. Hai nsười bạn phải trung thành với nhau, và họ phải biết nhau quá tường tận đến nỗi không có điều gì nghi ngờ giữa họ. Chúng ta đừng nghĩ nhiều về những người sẵn sàng tin vào những lời đồn đại, những chuyện ngồi lê đôi mách nói xấu bạn bè. Những ai dễ dàng bị ảnh hưởng bởi những lời xì xào không thể nào là những người bạn tốt.

Sự tin tưởng có lẽ là phẩm chất thứ tư. Bạn bè phải có sự tin tưởng lẫn nhau để mỗi người có thể cảm thấy an toàn khi kể cho nhau về những bí mật riêng tư của mình, Nhưng lại có những người nhiều chuyện không thể giữ kín chuyển của mình hoặc của người khác. Những người như vậy sẽ không bao giờ kết bạn dài lâu.

Cuối cùng, giữa bạn bè phải có sự cảm thông hoàn toàn, cảm thông vì mục đích, sở thích, niềm vui, nỗi buồn, mưu cầu và ước mơ của nhau. Và ở đâu không có sự thông cảm nhau, thì ở đó không có tình bạn.
