A smooth touch never hurts & A strong relationship that never breaks" Friendship is not just a combination of two words. It is combination of two hearts that care & love each other more than any words could describe.

It's always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.Once one become friends, friendship develops. It becomes stronger and stronger unless there are strong reasons to the contrary.

A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everyone around us. A best friend is someone we don't have to fill in the blanks with. They already know all the inner details of our life. One of our most basic fears is being alone. Whether our best friend is around the corner or in another time zone, just knowing friend is there provides comfort. It gives us a sense of being connected and not just free-floating in space.Good friends help us to develop our self-esteem. It is they who try their best to find medicine for our worries of and banish them.The famous idiom "one for all all for one" relates to friendship. It signifies unity. There's no where more unity than unity that's noticed in friendships.

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. Often we can live vicariously through our close friends and learn about things we may not have thought about doing. They contribute to our growth. They are the ones to whom we tell things we wouldn't dream of telling anyone else -- our greatest fears and biggest mistakes.

It's often a product of individuals and circumstances.Mere understanding is not enough for a friendship.Mutual understanding and liking are essential for it. It's one mind in two bodies. It's birds of same feather. A friend doesn't walk in front or behind. A friend walks along side by side.By birth no one is a friend. Making friends is an art. In friendships there's no status. 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. It makes life thrilling. It makes life sweet and pleasant experience. It's not easy. It's to be won. It's gradual. It's not all of a sudden.It's not a day or two affair. It is a slow ripening fruit.It must be everlasting. Nothing grows on its own. Friendship too seldom grows of its own. Often one has to lose something to gain something . In case of friendship also these are true .Without sacrifice nothing could be had. Even friendship demands some sacrifice. Further, without sacrifice if something is had we wouldn't know it's value.

Friends are not alike. They differ one another . Friendship is a two way traffic system with give and take on both sides. It is a relationship based on mutual trust for another. Anything is possible in a friendship. Worries are always either halved or doubled. There is much to be learnt in it.Our good or bad qualities go to friends and good or bad qualities of friends come to us.A Spanish novelist rightly says "Tell me what company thou keepest,and I'll tell thee what thou art." A friend is always dependable. He is supposed to be a well wisher. If a friend notices shortcomings in another friend immediately former brings them to the notice of latter and gets them set right. A friend always supports and defends.He sticks with us in good times and bad times. He is a person who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. He is attentive and adaptable.

There are many friendship stories.We come across friends who sacrificed in one way or another for their friends. There are friends who laid down their life for their friends also. By and large it's a friend who often provides a secure feeling more than anything else to anyone. Similarly, we come across friends who betray their friends also.It couldn't be said when and in what way and how a real friend would help. A true friend would not forget another friend at any time. A friend never promises but helps. He doesn't brag at anytime whatever he does at all.Jewish people rightly say "Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure" Whether it's hard time or happy time it's friend who is remembered always.

Friendship is great. It has made many people immortal. It enables one to know what's life, enjoy life and make it fruitful . It is often subjected to tests. It does not mean mere hand in hand.

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.
