Who is a friend?
“A single soul dwelling in two bodies“, said Aristotle.
When we talk about friends, we go into the past. Getting lost in old memories is inevitable.
When we find a friend with all qualities be it good or bad habits (but no one knows about those except you) a full sanskari dost XD. Even after knowing everything you stay together without judging each other.
Like: Loyalty, understanding, encouragement, and a positive influence and yeah, I am not talking about officer-like qualities . But Most of us want that kind of friend, where we don’t need to hesitate while sharing our things and fear shaming.
We can say it to be a deep relationship combining with support, understanding, trust, faith, love, unselfishness, and much more… This relation is like where we don’t need to weigh our thoughts and measure words before keeping them forth our friends.
Be it a late-night call for expressing a bad mood or an emergency it’s rare to find them away from us.
‘Side by side or miles apart, real friends are always close to the heart‘
Yes, anybody can be a friend but…
Is it true that our family members can be our friend or best friend? Yes, and most of us have one without even knowing. We do share that bond but with certain restrictions like with parents, generation- gap (sometimes you have faced). But for covering this we explore every possible way. And make them happy as they also do.
“A friend who understands your tears is much more valuable than a lot of friends who only knows your smile“
Hope after this you may think and if something happened, you’ll take step forward to make that fabulous change. Going to our best friend, our friendship is a bond of unconditional love, a feeling of emotional safety and comfort. Where they know us much more than we know about ourselves.
If you have ever realized that your friend is your copy, not because of heredity and of any physical appearance but your sense of humor, imagination & understanding without the need of using words. Recall your daily pieces of stuff when you laugh the hell out at small things, you glance at your friend and feel blessed to have that crazy, weird soul every time with you.
But the question arises in mind even when I was a child and saw people spending time with their friends. Did you ever think before making any friends?
For most of us, it’s a big NO. This bond is created with time without us being aware. But think once if that person comes to you for their benefit only! It looks a little weird. But you’ll be broken if this happened. Some people may correlate with this. Learned a lesson and move forward. And you can listen to their experience, can easily move on. And safe yourself from any mental, psychological stress.
Different people have different definitions of friendship. It’s a deep feeling no one can express in words. See ‘Friendship is always a sweet responsibility never an opportunity‘.
But always remember: “To the world you may be just one person but to one person you may be the world” : DR SEUSS.
Beautifully described … Good work buddy
