Francesco Guicciardini so aptly said, “Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.”
But is it easy to make friends? How many people succeed in making good friends who are there in the hour of need? Why is it so important to have good friends, those whom you choose, are with you, for you forever?
We are all born with a set of relatives and that’s not our choice but mere destiny. But friends they are different, we choose our own friends based on love, trust & other characteristics that may be our criteria. Some look for quite type of people to make friends with, some want friends who are the life of a party, fun to be with and have wonderful sense of humor, while many others choose the brainy sorts with whom they can have meaningful conversations…
Making friends is very easy; you just have to be good to them, polite and receptive. Maintaining the friendship over a period of time is sometimes difficult and needs effort to be put in, while if two soul-mates become friends no effort is ever needed, they are together for life, no matter what they do and what they don’t! To be able to say that you are best friends with the same person for almost a lifetime is a true achievement and very few lucky people manage to that.
Friendship means being there for your friend, no questions asked, no answers needed. Someone with whom you can be completely at ease, need not put on a careful face and be the true self, is your friend. Friends change as one grows in life, some move along with you, some drift away while new ones keep coming in your life. But a friend is the one who will leave behind a mark in your heart forever. Someone who will not change you yet, changes you in some special way forever…
Friends are a great source of information and learning, so one needs to be careful about picking up friends. This is a big source of worry for the parents as their kids start going to school and make various friends during growing age. Every parent is worried about what sort of friends their kid might make and what sort of influence they may have on their child. But for us grownups, it’s our choice; it’s our life when it comes to choosing new friends. Friends in a way are god’s blessings who make our life happier, easier in testing times, and enjoyable & livable in every season.
