Friends and Friendship

“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
This is most probably the most efficient and simple definition that separates a true friend from a mean friend since centuries. But nowadays the meaning of friendship has completely changed for most of the people. For most of the people friendship is just a mean to use someone to satisfy us when we are in need and forget that person when he/she is in utter need of us. Most of the people just know how to use a friend for their work but have started forgetting what to do for a friend when he/she needs us desperately.Ah!!It’s so painful. The feeling which has been an example in front of us since centuries telling us the importance of serving someone has totally changed its meaning for majority of people in this modern world.

Since past times only friendship has been described as one of the best relationship made by human on this earth. All other relationships were earned by default but friendship has the connection with heart. Many true friends have been the role models since past only like Lord Rama-Sugreev, Lord Krishna-Sudama, Jai-Veeru (“SHOLAY” Movie fame), Kishan-Bishan (“YARANA” Movie fame) etc.People from early days till now have taken examples from these pairs of friends and many more that how much devotion a true friendship can have. But nowadays some people think all these examples as bookish. For them a friend is a person only to e categorized as “Use and Throw” type of thing. Shame on those people who are polluting the true flavor of friendship.

Almost all of us might have faced some of those people at some moment in life and we can’t escape from them without getting affected. Even I also felt the pain in the heart because of those kinds of people in my college life. The main characteristics of such people is that initially they present themselves in front of you as one of your true and best friend and when you are in need then they are the first one to attack with a knife of unfaithfulness on your back.

But despite of getting severely wounded by the wounds given by them I stood up again because of the support of some real friends in my life who were like precious gems for me in my life (school and college).It is not so that I have always been hurted by the ill behavior of friends but I have got some too good friends also in my life, the friendship with some of them whom has been more than 21 years old and is becoming more precious as time is passing no matter how far we are physically situated but our hearts are still united.

I should suggest all ill-minded people that instead of cheating your good friends by giving them a friendship filled with bad feelings for them internally you should work hard to improve true relationships with your true friend because these true friends are like such precious pearls which when lost then only we realize their importance.

If somebody doesn’t know the importance of a true friend then loose one good friend in life(after making a good friend),you will automatically feel the pain in your heart .But the people who never realize their importance in lifetime suffer in bad days of life and even God punishes them in His court for such a heart-breaking act.
