Friendship, Accommodate or Improve together?

Using real-life experiences and own judgment, do you think true friends should accommodate character flaws, or should openly raise the problem out so that the other party can change for the better?

Personally i think in a true friendship, we should be honest with each other no matter what.
We should be open about what we are happy and unhappy about each other, thereby reducing the tension that would rise from suspicions and guesses.
Therefore i quite support Xinying's stand that we should accommodate each other's flaws yet openly raise out the problem so that we can change for the better.

I agree with Wenya that we all have flaws. Everyone is not perfect and it is very important esp for friends to be around to guide you along. But a true friend cannot accommodate all these faults blindly, they must also act as instructors, guiding these friends into the right path so that they will change for the better. So that they will survive better and maintain better relations with other friends.
Everyone has flaws and when these flaws clashed, they will result in conflicts and unhappiness. Therefore, i ask you, is it better to try and improve on all these flaws, or be stuck into conflicts every time when the same old topic arises. You realize that friends and couples always quarrel over the same old thing.
Plus if you don't seek to sort out the flaws in you, the same old argument will occur everytime u meet new people, new friends.
So, do you want your flaws to haunt you for the rest of ur life? Or do you want to solve that problem?

Tolerance as Wenya said, is a really important value.
Question is, how much tolerance do we have?
There is always a limit to tolerance.
If we all can be so forgiving, everyone of us will be God. Which is like so impossible.

Which brings me to the next point, since all of us have flaws, every true friend should use every bit of tolerance they have to accommodate these friends flaws but use their every bit of intolerance to try and change their friend for the better.
Hope you guys know what i mean.

A True Friend will be content enough as long as u are making the effort to improve on ur flaws, no matter how ineffective or how slow those changes comes.
A True Friend will be touched by your actions, coz you are changing for him/her.
And a True Friend should do whatever it takes to maintain and keep the friendship no matter how difficult or how impossible it may seem.

A True Friend is hard to get.
So really treasure your friendship.
Accommodate each other's flaws yet improve together and grow together.

P.S:~ The topic says real life experiences, well so let me give you one. You guys know that i happen to know 2 of my friends who are involve in the Cambodia incident. My friend who survived was so devastated that 5 of his friends were gone in one day. I bet he will now rather quarrel with them to see them like that lor.
As for me, i was also affected by that friend who die though not really close to him.
Imagine, what if one of them was my really close friends.
You never know what will happen to you tomorrow, so don't regret the choices you make. Or dun let urself end up in such a situation whereby, 10 years down the road, you wish you had made up with ur friend but didnt. I tell you, the feeling will be with you till the day u die.
So really, treasure friendship!!!
