“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light”
(H.Keller)

What is friendship? In my opinion, it is the purest form of relationship between two individuals with no hidden agenda. As per the dictionary, it is the mutual affection between people. But, is it just a mutual affection? Not always. Great friends share each other’s feelings or notions which brings a sense of prosperity and mental fulfillment.

Friendship can simply be defined as a form of mutual relationship or understanding between two people or more who interact and are attached to one another with an amiable and attentive attitude. A friendship is a real relationship of devotion between two or more persons where buddies involved have a true and trustworthy feeling of affection, care, and love towards each other without any delusions and demands.

In this modern world, many ‘friends’ stay together just only in times of prosperity and absence of problems but only the faithful, sincere and true friends are ready to pass through the times of troubles and hardships. We discover who our bad and good friends in the times when our fractious fortune turns back to us.

Many people seek friends with hard cash in their pockets. In the time of prosperity, we don`t really know if our friends are ‘fake freaks’ or not. We only discover our true friends when we need any other form of support…

But if the stars start smiling and we successfully choose the right person as a friend then our life becomes brighter and at the same time much easier. It doesn’t matter who you are, what type of clothes you wear. The most important thing is trust because the relation of friendship stands on the pillars of trust. Friendship is a relation that can make or break us in every stage of life. In other words, friendship is a first-class asset which is really precious. Obviously, it is also not so easy to maintain friendships. It demands your time as well as efforts. Last but not the least, it is hard to find true friendship but once you succeed in this task you will have a wonderful time. In exchange for that, a friend will only need your valuable time and trust.

Whether you accept or deny it, a friend plays an important role in your life. In fact, it is vital to have a friend. However, at the same time, it is extremely important to choose friends wisely as they are the ones who can build you or destroy you. They say that your worst enemy is your former friend. I know it… Nevertheless, a friend’s company is something you enjoy throughout all your life. So, treat your friends as the best treasure you can have. Besides, it is desirable to remember that is you want to have a friend – be a friend…
