As social beings, we all need friends with whom we can share our happiness, sadness and other significant aspects of life. Sharing our insecurities with friends brings mental peace and a sense of protection.
The idea of honoring friends has become popular, especially among students. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. They understand us profoundly and stay with us as long as we live. They don’t need us to change; they accept us as we are and listen whenever we need them. A true friend won’t feel jealous of our success and will keep motivating us. This positive relationship brings forth zeal to be uniquely you. It’s worth celebrating this significant day of Friendship Day.
Having a true friend is one of the most precious gifts one can ever have. A person should consider themselves one of the luckiest on earth if they have a true and sweet friend in their life. Real friends give us sweet and pleasurable memories to rejoice in.
None of us ever want to lose a true friend and that’s where we find our comfort. A friend will keep appreciating you to help you maintain a positive frame of mind. They will thrive forever for all the years you are on earth. A friend is always devoted to helping you out with various life issues, developing a sense of feeling protected. Friendship Day is observed worldwide to give people an opportunity to ex-press their feelings of love.
A friend also appreciates a person’s skills. A good friend helps or encourages the person to make the right choices in life and avoid trouble. True friendship is one of the deepest rela-tionships one can ever have with another person. A true friend is there for you through thick and thin. They will laugh with you, cry with you and even bail you out of jail if necessary.
