One can survive but cannot live in isolation in this advanced world. We can spend most of our time with computers and other gadgets; but we need others in order to survive. There are scores of associates who are there for us like our parents, brothers, sisters and other people who subsist in our proximity. With parents you can talk only in the capacity of their child. With your brother and sister you can be friendly but you necessarily need to follow some important norms. But if you are lucky enough, you can search out a person in your life in front of which you can open your mind without any restrictions and you proudly call him your ‘friend’. You can have friends with anyone but the one who has same problems, same age and the same conditions in life as you may have proves to be your best friend , your soul mate because it’s only him who in real sense can understand you and your problems.
Life is divided into few phases. In the initial stage when you are a kid, anybody who talks to you nicely or gives you toys and chocolate kind of things is your friend. In the next stage when you join the school, one with whom you share your table, lunch, notebook and other eatables becomes your friend. Your senses start growing and hence change the definition of your friend. You start expecting more and giving more. Then these relations keep on strengthening with time. After school, you get into some college and in this stage most of the find true and lifelong friends. After that you get into some profession and then finally get married. Your friend stays with you through all these changes and then you have your children who make friends and this pleasant circle goes on and on...
A friend is someone who stands by you through thick and thin and accepts you accepts you are...understands you, trusts you, guides you and supports you....a friend knows every damn thing about u still manages to love; you all the way. A friend knows your past, stays with you in your present and has full faith in your future.
A true friend is a blessing from above, who after penetrating, touches the walls of the heart and stays in your soul. A sincere friend is honest, frank, truthful, cheerful and above all reliable. You can always count on him at the times of distress. Even if your chum cannot lend a hand, his only presence makes you feel improved. A true friend always takes you across the oceans of problems and difficulties... There are many who can wipe tears of eyes but only your friend can see the aches of your heart. Rightly said, your relationship with your friend should be like the one between the eyes and hands. Whenever your eyes cry, your hands wipe away the tears and whenever your hands get hurt, eyes cry. When you have very intimate relationship with your friend, you have to give all you have to make your friend happy, what if you are not a part of that happiness, whatever lies behind u, whatever lies in front of you that hardly matters what is important is that what lies within you...n a friend always helps u to discover all your hidden potentials... shows u a new way to life. Whenever two people are close, words are often said and things are done that never intend to hurt but somehow they do. At such times, we must have the courage to forgive our friends. We are often taught that we must forgive our enemies but I think it’s more difficult to forgive friends... we need to have compassion and love for each other that will polish our relationship and make it even more stronger. To have long term friendships develop short term memory. Your friend is always keen and enthusiastic to spend quality time with u. It’s not necessary to do great things in companionship, do small things but with great love. And if you really do small things every day, big things will one day come to you, asking to be done... it’s the little things that matter the most. What good is a microwave without the connection of electricity? A first-rate camaraderie is the blending of two forgivers. Friends and diamonds have few things in common both are precious, rare and add color to the life...life may change with time the way seasons do but your friends never get changed. They remain same and always there for you... it’s often said that old friends are best friends. Give yourself a chance and you will see that new friends will also turn old one day and will certainly prove to be the best of all the times.., people readily accept your praises and qualities that your friend associates with you. A false friend can prove worse than an enemy and can do greater harm, if your friend breaks your trust he becomes a curse. When someone gets an entry in your life, he can either make it better or just worse than it is. A friend not only gives a physical and mental support but supports you monetarily, at times. Even silence speaks in volumes when you are with your friend. You need not to mention the dilemma; your intimate friend recognizes it. He can understand your gestures and stupid expressions … by its love; makes your life a better place. A friend often looks up to you just to see your happy face… people are alone, without friends, because they build walls where they are supposed to build bridges. You get your family by chance but you always have the friends of your choice. So, treat your family as friends and friends as family… friends can turn a common place into beauty and splendor… there’s nothing in the world that true friendship cannot change..
Friends are unselfish and kind,
For it sees with its heart and not with its mind!!
It’s free but priceless.
Friendship, like pure magic,
Is life’s sweetest mystery…
