We all seek someone with whom we can share our thoughts and fears
without being at the risk of undergoing a scanner. All relations have
an imaginary boundary beyond which we cannot cross however, friendship
holds no such barriers and gives the person a free space to grow. It is
another thing that the choice of friends can make or break the life.
Friendship is not a matter of the brain it is the reflex action of the heart. However, colleagues, acquaintances, neighbors may surround each of us, but the friends are irreplaceable. They form a part of us since the first sense of bonding or maybe someone we came to know later in life. One thing that remains common is that they stay true to us irrespective of time, state, or distances.
So what makes for a good friend?
• A true friend will be your anchor in times of adversities. Your friend will know when to lend you an ear and when you need a shoulder to cry.
• A friend is like a vault where all your secrets shall stay safe. He shall never indulge in back stabbing, backbiting or gossiping about you.
• A true friend is someone who is not hesitant to show you the reality, no matter how bitter it is. They never substitute for a 'Yes' man.
• A friend who cares for you irrespective of the fact that you were at fault is a friend forever. He shall forgive you. However, the same friend will not hesitate to give you advice if you go wrong. This companion shall try the best to let you tread the right path.
• You have a true friend if the time, place, or duration of your last conversation or meeting never seems too erstwhile. If every time you talk to them, it feels like the last meeting was a day before.
• Your friend shall never be judgmental about you. He shall respect your space and individualism.
• A true friend never degrades you no matter how trying a situation gets.
• A true friend is a positive influence in our lives irrespective of the phase we are dealing with.
However, a relationship works best when there is a mutual connect and coherent vibrancy amid the people. Therefore, to have a good companion you have to prove yourself worthy too. Life is too short to complicate and then untangle the knots. Live lives each day, give your best, and enjoy humanity.
