Nowadays it seems that "roles" are not taken into serious consideration. Often people refuse to be who they are supposed to be. "Who says who they should be?" you may ask. No one, actually. It's just the situation one person finds themselves in that should lead them towards the right behavior. If you know that a friend needs your attention and sympathy, take the time to give them attention and sympathy. Listen carefully, without interrupting, without trying to talk about your own experience or starting to give advice when it is not requested.
We should all endeavor to remember that the wisest thing to do, in whatever situation, is to simply do what is requested of us, what we can do to be of service to others, rather than to always try to show that we are... the best. We are not, and we shall never be.
