Just like the traffic light helps control traffic, keep drivers and pedestrians safe, reduce accident rates, friendship has flags of its own. Its basic knowledge actually, red signifies a lot of things, mostly danger related. With the traffic light, it says stop. It sometimes signifies fire. The most obvious is blood and when is seeing blood ever good.
Like how things always have good and bad, red also signifies good things in different cultures. But in this article, red flags can only mean one thing. Have you ever heard about friendships that have existed for a long time but end all of a sudden? Sometimes because of very unreasonable, insignificant reasons or justifications. I have.
