Growing Up A Mazzella Reply

When I was about 10-11 years old, my Dad, Ivio Mazzella, gave me the rules as passed down from Father to Son, from generation to generation, from the first Mazzella's who ever existed.

My Dad, brought me up right and told me that I would have friends who were no good.

He told me that I would have friends who squander their money on Wine, Women & Song, Gambling and drugs and harlots.

He said, Son, if you have any friend who wastes his money and goes gambling to Las Vegas or Atlantic City and comes home broke and winds up homeless, that I should not loan him or give him any money, because if he does not keep a bank account, then he is a degenerate.

My Dad said, "Son, Do not let any friend or relative Take Advantage of you. They will try to use you for a purpose and expoit you and manipulate you and try to control you!"

My Dad said "These are False Friends. They are not real friends, but in reality, they are enemies.

I said "Real Friends, False Friends! Oh how can I tell the difference?".

"Your real friends act like they like you, your false friends do not!" He told me.

Dad said, "Your real friends will invite you over their houses or apartments, your False Friends won't!"

"Your real friends will invite you to the weddings, your false friends will only invite you to the funerals."

"Your real friends will do you favors, your false friends will not."

"Your False Friends will slander you behind your back or to your face!"

"Your False Friends are liars!"

My Dad Ivio told me, "Son, if you have a False Friend, then get rid of him, he is evil".

I know that some of my old false friends, who I have ostracised are reading this.

They type my name into Google.com and see what I have written here.

It is because they did not believe in or adhere to my Father's teachings, that they have lost my friendship forever.

Yes, they tried to take me down the path of evil, but they failed and I walked away from the evil and then I got rid of them.

My Father was right! They are no good!

If you want more on this advice, please read The Book of Ecclesiasticus in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

The New Testament has it also.

That is where these rules come from.
