Friendship: The Joy of Life

Most of the time we wonder about what the real meaning of friendship is. Some people say real friends are those who stay with you during your happy days. But is it really true? Have you ever googled your thoughts on friendship? Google says, “The emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends.” Our Google is always right. Friendship is directly proportional to emotions. True friendship is a bond, a real and emotional bond between two different people irrespective of their caste, colour, creed etc. There are people who have some 5-6 members in a group and whom they call besties or best friends for life. But deep down they know that there is only one person who understands them more than others, who supports them the most and that’s called a real friendship.

Real friendship doesn’t depend on the amount of time you spend with them or how many hours you spend with them, it is proved when a person needs you and you are there for them. Real friendship doesn’t require pictures on social media, it requires a good heart. Enjoying, partying, doing mischievous activities doesn’t define a friendship, friendship is defined when you stand with your friend being caught after doing something wrong. People nowadays try to make new friends through social media and claim that they will be friends forever and will never hurt each other. Things will be fine for a few days when they talk to each other on a regular basis but once the conversation gets shortened, one of them starts blaming the other for this without even understanding what situationthe other person is in. Friendship requires understanding because a person can share everything only with a friend. The bond of friendship is the purest form of love. Friendship is applied in love relationships as well. If you manage to be good friends with each other then your relationship will be everlasting.

In this busy world we have forgotten about the basic requirements of friendship. It requires understanding, love and sacrifice. A person can stay without the person he/she loves but can’t stay without a beloved friend. Rather than judging people one can try to be their well wisher. A friend is not less than a brother or a sister. Just the name differs, not the relationship. A kind request to everyone reading this, choose your friends wisely because nowadays people are here to blame you, and not to love or understand.
