Speaking about Friendship!

Note: This article is to be only identified as a thought. This should not be considered has a flaw statement made on friendship. Thank-you and I hope you gain out of this article.

It is often I have observed that friendship is defined as something very strong and funny but it has something more in it, in today’s time. One day, I was in my college, I was discussing a topic with my teacher about friendship on friendship day. I was puzzled when she asked me a question that absolutely had a very deep and tricky answer. Her question was, how one should find a true friend in this sinned environment? It was a hard question to answer. According to her, in simple words, how one should define true friendship? I stood in front of her with my head down; a hard stroke of disappointment had pulled me down.  With no answer to this question, I came home sad and dejected as if a girl had rejected me after my proposal. But a part of me wanted to absorb the answer to that question. So, like always, I started observing people and their relationships with others. May it be friendship, love or hatred?  Actually, yesterday I got the answer. Wholly after a very long time but trust me it was worth waiting for it!

           

Friendship is not about sacrificing or loving someone or caring for someone, I learned. Friendship is a mixture of different or variant emotions.  After reading articles about friendship, I learned that people had misunderstood the meaning of friendship. It is about quality and not quantity. Let me elaborate.

Through, social media it is easy to make friends now days. But are they really friends or just statues carrying a name? For instance, if a boy (not a girl this time, why always mention girls regarding friendship or love or whatever) is having 1000 friends on Facebook, does that mean he is chatting with 1000 people every day or let’s say in a month? No. Those friends aren’t friends. But you know what they are? They’re your followers. They only follow you that is nothing to proud about. They will follow your trend or style to an extent, that’s all. So, what’s true friendship?

We find true friendship if we have quality friends with us. Quality matters not quantity. A herd of followers will only follow you but true friends will care about you and will help you to become what you dream about! Friendship is about discovering the real person in someone and it’s not about following the fake person. The one who helps you cannot be termed as a true friend but the one who helps you and tells you the drawbacks and advantages of what you’re demanding, is a true friend with a pure heart. Friends may come and go but the memories you’ll have with them will always dart in your mind. You have to decide, whether you want those memories to make you happy or you want those memories to haunt or scare the shit out of you?

Conclusion:                                                                                                          

So, it’s my sincere request chose your friends taking into consideration their qualities and behavior. Also keep in mind if you have a small group with less followers, it will help you grow up with a circle of positivity around you. It enhances your thinking process in a positive way and drives you to the right path. Believe in quality; not quantity.
