True Friendship

What exactly does it mean to be a true friend? In general, I think it means to have a strong relationship involving self sacrifice, empathy, and trust.with someone else. In other words, for a true friend, you would be willing to give up  things for each other, understand each other's feelings, be honest, and loyal. From my personal experience, I also believe that you should be able to show the "real you" around your friends and trust that they will accept you for what you are. I think the most important of these qualities is loyalty. Friends should never betray each other and should stick together through "thick and thin".In Julius Caesar, we see the importance of loyalty in a friendship as Brutus betrays Caesar for the good of Rome.
