Best friends will also be totally honest with us.Having a best friend to share things with can help us learn new things about ourselves. The things they share with us can open our eyes to new ideas and ways to think about the world around us.When a close friend does something we disagree with, we are more likely to confront them and discuss what has upset us than if it's a person we aren't as familiar with. Getting through this with a close friend helps to prepare us for other times in life where we will need to face a difficult situation. We can trust a best friend always. They will be honest with us, but won't betray us .Having a best friend means sharing experience.

There's neither superiority complex nor inferiority complex too. Friends are equal in all respects .They eat in the same plate. They sleep in the same bed also. In friendship, each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. It is better friends be always between equal and not unequal. True friendship is a great asset in life.Our friends are our assets and liabilities. In life scarcity of true friends is no less at any time than the scarcity of essentials like food wealth and health.
Friendship does not exist where tastes, feelings and sentiments are not similar. It must never be looked upon with profit motive.A friend is essential in order to share something at least.Friendship is a wise investment. It's an elixir which is essential for a happy life.

Thoughts about friendship were making round in my mind and I remembered a family which is well placed to-day by being helped by a friend. The bread earner of that family had a number of friends. Many of his friends ditched him when he was sick and bed ridden. That family was a big family. Majority of their relatives had kept them at arm's length due to size of family. A few were only inviting them to their house during auspicious occasions. Unfortunately to the family, the only bread earner of it breathed his last due to a heart ailment . Moreover , he could not leave any savings at all. Besides,there were no other earning members in the family. Most of the members feminine and were school going. It was at that time a friend of the deceased got a job to one of the members of the family. Besides, he arranged for boarding and lodging at the work place too. Similarly, he recruited another member of that family in his company where he was general manager. He did n't forget old friend who was no more. That's friendship. To day ,that family is well placed. A friend is always a well wisher.
