True Value of Friendship
In this age of innovation, human values are slowly getting replaced with
fleeting opportunities. Ready to eat meals, high speed lifestyle, modern
gizmos all make quality time less for an individual. The symphony of
Beethoven and counting a flock of home bound birds is much ignored by
today’s generation. There is much joy in watching the sun setting or
seeing ripples created in a pond, during monsoon. Many times simple
things in life give us immense joy.
Friendship is deep and is synonymous with understanding. It has to meet
the testing times and also goes through periods of speculation. Human
nature changes with respect to a person’s job, education level and
interaction. Distance in friendship of the true kind is just about a
different place. Remembering and cherishing old moments is also a way to
preserve friendship. The first friendships are mostly from school and
attending reunions gathers nostalgic moments. Value of friendship is
further heightened by a birthday wish or greetings during the festivals.
Family remains a priority for all individuals, but for each person there
is no much meaning in life without having a confidante. Friendship does
not relate to age and gender. It is about giving and sharing. Joy needs
to be communicated and also it is imperative to let your friend know
about the ebbing concepts in your life. Friendship with your spouse is
at a deeper level and it is a transparent relationship.
Hanging out with a group of friends especially when one is in the youth
is common. It is important to disassociate oneself from a wrong
influence. Friendship is all about quality and not quantity. Valuing
friendship also means accepting a friend’s demerits. Hurts in friendship
deepen into wounds and a good friend can be lost forever. Taking the
first move to apologize is a form of valuing friendship and expressing
your love.
