How can one determine whether a relationship between two people is good? Not specifically referring to a dating relationship, but everyday relationships with people. How do you know that this person is going to help you rise and not bring you down. In this world there are very few people who want you to do well. How can you be sure you are being surrounded by the people who will help you in life no matter what. It is difficult to know, should one just go along not knowing then wait to find out the consequence or try to see who and what will really matter for the sake of ones future.
