True Friendship

Love Speaks in the name of Friendship: Friendship is a feeling of love and affection of one person for another. This feeling of love must be reciprocated. Otherwise, friendship cannot be possible. Friendship does not exist where tastes, feelings, and sentiments are not similar. The famous essayist Bacon has warned against the friendship between a very rich person and a very poor person. Economic disparity damages friendship. Thus friendship is a feeling of affection between two like-minded persons of uniform status. It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. There may be man friends at the time of prosperity. But most of them desert at the time of adversity. We can examine the sincerity of a friend during our time of hardship and trouble. Only a sincere and faithful friend remains with us at the time of our trouble. All others leave us. It is very painful when our friends turn traitors.

Money is an enemy of friendship

Everybody has an attraction for money. When lending or borrowing of money is done between two friends, there is a great risk. Friendship may be affected. So it is wise for true friends to avoid monetary transactions. Vanity is another element that breaks friendship. Everybody has self-respect. When a person tries to criticize his friend, their friendship is affected. So friendship must be treated very delicately. Friendship is a special kind of love, more than true and more than endless. So if you have your friends, take care of them, and treat them like treasure. A famous philosopher Euripides once said, “Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness”. The presence of friends makes our life worthwhile but it is really difficult to write a good friend who will be with us in all the circumstances of life. Friendship is one of the most important and valuable things in our life. It measures a good person. A relationship is a love and appreciation being shared between two people while at the same time they are indulging themselves in each other’s lives. A relationship is a connection between two individuals whether it is mother and child, male and female, or friend and friend.

A relationship can be defined as something sacred, something meant to be shared between two people over a period of time. In the essay “On Friendship” written by Francine Du Plessix Gray gives her perspective on the relationship between men and women. “Friendship is by its very nature freer of deceit than any other relationship we can know because it is least affected by striving for power, physical pleasure, or material profit most liberated from any oath of duty or of constancy” this is a quote from Francine Du Plessix Gray. She believed that there wasn’t any such thing as true love that with love you get a false sense of what’s real.

Varying opinions and conflicting perspectives can quickly lead to disagreements and animosity between people. However, relationships formed with others all have positive and negative aspects to them. Unfortunately when people consider starting a new relationship. Whether it is fair or unfair, a relation always has its beginning. While discussing love, not all lovers have their lover through first sight. It’s just words to magnify how deep your love is. Some always complain about the friendship between a boy and a girl. There is always comments like "Friendship between a boy and a girl never end up with friendship." How will you interpret this statement? There is always a misunderstanding between our friends in this regard. Most guys have one step ahead in this matter. A friend is a friend and not a girlfriend but it also doesn’t mean that a friend can’t love another friend. So how would you like to define love leaving all this friendship behind? It's only you and you have to think about what your heart feels about your love keeping in mind that confusion will later lead to misunderstanding.

Extracting friendship out of everything I would like to mention a few things. It’s a natural relation between two people. It is the most respectful relation individuals have in their life. Each individual are bound together by this relation. A friend is one who always brings a smile on your face, he will promise to be with you when you need the most and he will be the one who will celebrate in your success. It is true that your love is too close to your heart but it is also true that your friends are close to your life. They make a big part of your life. Sometimes you will even need them to discuss your feeling rather than finding your love to solve. And this is for sure. And this is for sure that they will always listen to you. But it doesn’t mean that you do not need your love. Love is the source, which forms the root of all being. It was love that made us, that saved us and it was god’s plan when he made man. Love is also kind and sweet while it is also selfish and hell.
