What is friendship?
Friendship is a type of relationship between two people who care about each other. But such a dry definition doesn't do the concept of friendship justice. Consider these examples: A friend is the first person you want to call when you hear good news. A friend remembers that you don't like pickles on your sandwich. A friend will accompany you on the most boring of errands and make them seem fun.
In other words, friendship is wonderful, and much ink has been spilled in citing the virtues of having friends. That's not to say friendship is easy, though. It demands time and effort, and it requires that people put someone other than themselves first sometimes. But in exchange for that work, a friend can provide an immense amount of support and comfort in good times and in bad.
Many qualities are necessary for a good friendship, including honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty and unconditional acceptance. A friendship should make both people in the relationship happy; both people should have fun when they spend time together. To be perfectly frank, that's a tall order. Human beings can clash very easily, which is why it's hard for some people to maintain many friendships. It's possible that friendship can exist between two people at one stage of life, but life changes and personal growth may make friendship impossible at another stage. It can be hard to meet the people who would make the perfect friend.
But wait, the definition of a friend has changed in today’s technologically connected world. Today we may think we have many “friends.” It is true, we do enjoy the ability to be informed and to stay current with what is happening in the lives of many of our acquaintances as well as current and former friends and even people we have not met personally whom we call our friends.
In the context of social media, the term “friend” is often used to describe contacts rather than relationships. You have the ability to send your “friends” a message, but this is not the same thing as having a relationship with a person one on one... Sometimes our preoccupation is on having friends. Perhaps we should focus on being a friend.
True friends influence those with whom they associate to “rise a little higher and be a little better.” You can help one another, particularly young men, prepare for and serve honorable missions. You can help one another remain morally clean. Your righteous influence and friendship can have an eternal effect not only on the lives of those with whom you associate but also on generations to come.
So, let me tell you my little story, although I realized that I was beset with many problems, I remain optimistic, not because I am optimistic, but I was surrounded by a group of people who are very amazing and very awesome in my opinion. although I included "new guy" in this group, but they accept me as I am, where I just mediocre, not cool and even weirdo with all my limitations.
I thought, a very warm friendship only happens when we were still in high school, but the fact that I have found in this group are very different, I feel like back in the days where my wild spirit like out of the cage, (let's LOL).
What I mean is, it's not about what I have so that I could be one of them, but what I do not have so that they fill it, without compromising....
Now, for me, when I thought about friendship one of the words which came to my mind is “door”. I strongly believe that friendship is like a door which leads people through astonishing and sometimes mysterious journeys. I have to admit that this door has often been opened to me and I’m really grateful for all the friends who in some way or another are part of my present, past and hopefully my future. Throughout my life, I was blessed to having best friends I could ever have. Some of them are in my home town and some others will be really far soon, so I’d like to give them the little gift of expressing how much they mean to me and how they have touched my life forever.
Thank you guys, you just bring back my memories of the joyful to having friends in my life...
stay healthy, stay awesome, hope we meet again.. you guys so fucking coooooooool !!! uhuuuuuuy !
