Friendship

       Man is a social animal. He cannot live alone and needs companions. Friendship is, therefore, the basis on which a society has been built up.
It is such a company which makes a man perfect. Friendship is a wonderful experience. It is a blessing from God. A person without friends is an unsocial person.

      Friendship makes our life joyous and pleasant. All of us need friends to cheer us up when we are depressed, to help us when we are unhappy, and to be with us when we are happy. A friendless person is always lonely and sad.

      The selection of a true friend is really very difficult. The age of material values has made man selfish. But, a true friend is free from all selfishness. A true friend is interested in your happiness and welfare. He does his best to help you and whenever you need him, he does not consult his schedule; instead, he is always there to help you. “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”

      Friendship flourishes mutual trust. A good friend is prepared to sacrifice his own interest for the sake of his friend. There are quarrels even among good friends. A good friend’s attitude towards these quarrels is generous. Sometimes there are misunderstandings between good friends, but they try to remove all those misunderstandings through a frank discussion. “The friend is the man who knows all about you and still likes you”.

     Friendship is a spiritual relationship. The harmony we find between two friends is spiritual harmony. One must thank God if he/she gets a really good and true friend.
