FRIENDSHIP
Man is a social animal. He cannot live alone. Men of similar dispositions
re naturally attracted towards each other. In course of time, intimacy grows
hetween them. They began to trust each other. This is called friendship.
Friendship, generally, grows between persons of the same age and
Hispositions. They have similar passions emotions and sentiments. This is why,
oenerally, people of the same age turn into friends.
Friendship is both good and necessary. A man cannot pass his days all
alone. In the company of friends, people pass their days cheerfully. They do not
feel the rigours of life. In distress, friends help one another. In happy days, they
share the joys of the another. Thus, a friends is the sharer of both joys and woes.
Real friendship is rare. Many people gather round men of power and pelf
to serve their own selfish ends under the garb of friendship. They leave their
friends when their power and pelfare gone. Such selfish friends are many in this
world. People should be cautious of such friends. A real friend is he who helps
his friend in need. He stands byhim in the days of his adversity. "A friends in
need is a friend indeed."This is why it has been said that "Fortune brings friends
but adversity tries them."
People should be very cautious about selecting friends. They should
cultivate friendship with men of character, so that there may not be a split when
friendship has sufficiently advanced. It is very bitter and painful to cut off
connections later, on account of bad blood between friends. True friendship
lasts till death and does not fluctuate from time to timne.
True friendship is a solace and a boon. These men are fortunate indeed
who have got really true and sincere friends.
