SHADES OF FRIENDSHIP











“A friend cannot be replaced” it is a dialogue from the English movie Eragon. Truly the Month of August invites us to think on friendship. What is friendship? Who is a friend? Friendship is a relationship between two or more people. It is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an acquaintanceship. A friend is whom we feel comfort and emotional safety. It is when you do not have to weigh your thoughts measure words. A friend is someone who knows you better than yourself and assures to be on your side in every emotional crisis. Friendship is much beyond roaming together and sharing good moments; it is when someone comes to rescue you from the worst phases of life.
Friendship starts the moment a child starts socializing. It is essential for the development of the personality of a person. There are famous stories about friends in mythology of different religions. They say a person who has found a faithful friend has found a priceless treasure. I wind up with a quote by Aristotle “What is Friend? A single soul, dwelling in two bodies”
