HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY
How can we find true friendship in this often phony, temporary,materialistic world? I wondered ,Do we know what friendship really means,Is it just wishing once a year or means something much more than that. Friendship involves recognition or familiarity with another’s personality.A deep insight within, Friends often share likes and dislikes, interests,ambitions, pursuits, and passion.
How can we recognize potential friendship? Signs include a mutual desire for companionship and perhaps a common bond of some kind. Beyond that, genuine friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern, a desire to see one another grow and develop, and a hope for each other to succeed in all aspects of life.With the motto of by helping you I am helping myself directly or indirectly to grow into a better person,and thereby lay the foundation to extend my help to other unknown people, strangers who could one day be ‘ potential friends.’ True friendship involves action: doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return; sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or negative criticism,receptive to their ideas no matter how weird or crazy they may seem,even though we may tend to disagree at times we would never be rude or hurtful in words, thoughts, or deeds to a friend.
True friendship involves relationship, ie: being able to relate to one another Those mutual attributes we mentioned above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into relationship. Many people say, “Oh, he’s a good friend of mine,” yet they never make the effort to spend time with that “good friend.” to get to know him better, Every time they introduce even casual acquaintances they say the same thing , ‘ oh he/she is a good friend of mine’ Friendship takes time: time to get to know each other, time to build shared memories, time to invest in each other’s growth.
Trust is essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, our feelings,emotions, our thoughts,fears, loneliness,apprehensions, and frustrations.We need someone to share our joys happiness too. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! or be a topic of common gossip.Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Without them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away, only forgiveness no matter how hard and difficult it may be.One always has to keep in mind that the tongue is so small and has no bone, but has caused major wars among neighbours,friends,relatives,societies,communities and even nations have not been spared.
True friendship requires certain accountability factors. Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle. Friends are dependable. In true friendship, unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends.
We may have many good friends or only one, we need to choose wisely, cultivate the friendship with fervour,build up a rapport with them, it could be your parents, your siblings , your peers, teachers,or other elders,as long as they are well meaning and do have the potential of being good friends to others, then why not you..?
