Friendship

Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words. When two people share a strong bond of mutual understanding, respect and love it lays the foundation stone for an everlasting friendship. This bond just gets stronger with time; the trust between the two people grows and so does the attachment. This is the beauty of the relationship and is the essential meaning of friendship. Being friends means being there for each other at all times, whether it's good or bad. A friend needs to be very understanding and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Ideally the meaning of friendship is sharing unconditional love for each other. However this is not an ideal world; therefore some form of expectations are allowed, but that has a limit too. The purpose and meaning of friendship is to make life's burdens lighter for our friends and not make them heavier. The answer to what is the meaning of because friendship lies within our hearts,true friendship can only be felt, and not expressed. Something so pure and essential is not always visible to the eye, but is felt by the heart. There is no greater blessing than an understanding friend, who's there in times of trouble and on whom we can depend. A friend who knows our every mood and brightens cloudy days. One who's slow to criticize but quick to offer praise.

Someone turned to me and asked "How many friends have you?” Why? 10 or 20 friends. I believe and began to named a few...A blessed one you are to have so many friends but think of what you're saying...A friend is just not someone to whom you say "Hello"…A friend is a tender shoulder, on which to softly cry. A well to pour your troubles down and raise your spirits high. A friend is a hand to pull you up from darkness and despair... When all your other "so called" friendship have helped to put you there. A true friend is an ally. Who can't be moved or bought a voice to keep your name alive. When others have forgot. But most of all a friend has a true heart for from the hearts of friends. There comes the greatest love of all….
