Simplified Meaning:
Friendship is not just about having fun together; it also needs mutual respect to thrive. Think about your best friend. You trust them because you know they value you. If that friend starts to disrespect you, mocks you, or disregards your feelings, the friendship can become painful and might start to fall apart. Respect is like the foundation of a house. Without it, even the strongest friendships can crumble. For a friendship to stay strong, both friends need to respect each other’s opinions, feelings, and boundaries. So, if you want to keep your friendships healthy and happy, always remember to treat your friends with respect.
