Friendship denotes a co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more people. It is a relationship which involves true affection, mutual understanding, respect and loyalty. They usually have similar tastes, and may convey and share enjoyable activities. Yet, for many, friendship is nothing more than trust, that something or someone won't harm them






Every friend in life is the most beautiful gift of God. In fact it is really a 'gift' which is not easily acquirable. We can have so many friends, but we must be 'gifted' to have 'true' friends.

As a person who tries to be friends with everyone, I have always believed that establishing friendship between two persons can actually melt the ice of unnecessary hatred and misunderstandings between them. Abraham Lincoln once declared- “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.” How true it is, isn't it?

Bernard Meltze once said- “A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.” Friends should understand each other's defects and weaknesses, but never try to weigh them in terms of these defects alone.

Every person, once or always, wonders how to make good friends or become one? There are no specific rules or regulations for being a good friend. Friendship is a feeling which has to come from our hearts. It’s not possible to impose pressure upon a person to be a friend. It is automatic, like a reflex, which comes from within. Don’t worry about knowing people - just make yourself worth knowing. The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail and not his tongue.

And now wonder why somebody quoted -

“A friendship
is like
a sailing ship
that glides upon the sea,
Whose strength lies in
the world of change,
No matter where she be.
For even when
she's tossed
and turned,
She manages to keep
afloat.
For even
storms of life,
my friend,
can’t ever sink this boat”
