The simplest way to keep friends to be a friend. If you are unable to accept a person as he/she is ,without trying to change them,you are not their friend.
I have know my best friend for 40 almost years. We often have a coffee and an argument.I am fairly left wing in a lot of my views,he is very right wing in a lot of his. Our last robust discussion ended when I called him 'a misogynist prick' and we each claimed victory.
However, he is a kind,ethical ,loyal friend who is always there for me,as I am for him..
In my life I have usually been able to work out if I want a person for a friend after a few weeks. Yes, I have dropped friends; for a betrayal of trust . I can and do forgive just about anything else.
