True Friendship
Ever wondered what is the real essence of the saying "A Friend in
Need is a Friend Indeed"? People talk about the true value of
friendship without knowing what it stands for. True friendship is when
there are no formalities; when the person you are talking about is
counted as family; when the relation you share reaches a stage that even
if you don't correspond for sometime, your relationship remains intact.
Best friends need not meet up often to make sure that the friendship
remains constant. The trust between best friends is such that if one
friend falls in trouble, the other will not think twice to help.
If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can endure even long distances. They find a way of being in touch despite busy schedules. True friendship never fades away; in fact it grows better with time. True friends don't need a posh place to hang out. Their most precious hideout is each others' rooms! True friendship thrives on trust, inspiration and comfort. Best friends come to know when the other person is in trouble, merely by listening to their "Hello" over the phone.
True friends don't desert each other when there is trouble. They face it together and support each other even if it hurts the other individual's interest. Best friends don't analyze each other; they don't have to. They accept each other with their positive and negative qualities. Nothing is hidden between true friends; they know each other's strengths and weaknesses. Best friends don't stand any outsider commenting or criticizing their friendship and they can put up a very firm resistance if anyone does so.
True friends are not opportunists. They don't help because they have something to gain out of it. True friendship is selfless. Best friends support even when the whole world opposes you. It is not easy getting true friends and if you have even one true friend, consider yourself blessed. In this world of cynics and back stabbers, there are still some people who are worth being friends with.
