Selfless- Sacrifice

Throughout life, people have to make choices that would either be good for themselves or to others, but not good for both of them at the same time.  A choice I made could probably be when I was spending a lot of time with one of my friends in local school that I met in my cram school. His girlfriend just cheated on him, and since he is a very important friend to me, I had to make this hard decision of whether I should or shouldn't go to yell at the girl since the boy wouldn't do it and the girl didn't think that she did anything wrong. It would benefit the boy, because being cheated on while the girl doesn't even think that she did anything wrong would be totally insulting. If I were him, I wouldn't just hold it down and just say that he's going to let it go just like that. If I really went to go to the girl and list out what bad things she'd done, I would be pretty sure that she'd think that I was being too nosy, poking my head into other people's business, and I might even get misunderstood by other people that I like the guy. But because of how much the boy helped me when I was sad, I couldn't stand someone hurting such a good friend of mine like that. In the end, I didn't care about other people thinking that I'm being nosy or what, I called the girl and yelled at her about what she'd done to my friend. I don't regret making this decision, even though the friends of the girl really are thinking about me the way I've expected, nosy and that I like the boy, but I didn't care. To me, the boy was a very important friend and I wouldn't change how close we are just because of some other people saying things about us behind us. True friends are hard to find, and I'm really glad that I've met one.
