You can always tell a real friend; when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Summary

A real friend is someone who, even when you make a mistake or act foolishly, does not judge or hold it against you. They understand that everyone makes mistakes and believes in your capacity to learn and grow from them. They see past the momentary lapse and do not consider it a reflection of your worth or character. A true friend offers support, forgiveness, and acceptance, knowing that your relationship is built on mutual understanding and genuine care.
