I wish everyone a very happy Friendship day. This statement indirectly passes on a message to everyone to remember their friends on this day and wish their bond continue forever. Anything which brings togetherness is sacred and hence having a specific day for such a togetherness is appreciated by everyone.
If we try to dive into the depth of concept called Friendship, we can find some amazing facts. Definition of a Friend differs from person to person. For some people, one who accompanies them for a peg of beer or whisky or a cigar is a friend. This is very common trend today. For some, one who saves them from financial crisis is a friend. For some, one who gives moral and psychological support in day-to-day life activities is a friend. And in now-a-days techie world, even virtual friendship exists in social media through Facebook.
Some friendships exist by respecting each other and being within limits. In such a friendship, people share each other their problems but never expect any help from other, as they are afraid to take any risk which invites a storm in their relationship.
Some Friendships exists wherein people maintain it to have an opportunity in their life to have a get-together now and then, discuss about past events when they were together and feel ecstatic about it.
In short, we consider a person as a friend when we are in a comfortable zone with that person, mostly a beneficial deal. It's a fact to be digested !!!
In my view, a friend should be a person who knows about your negativity, but still accepts you as a friend and constantly tries to improve your character even though you don't like it at that moment. Such a friend take you as granted and never leaves you even if you quarrel with him on that matter. Such a friend will always advice you proactively in case he observes obstacles in your life journey.
If we dive further to find such a real friend who fits into my definition, it's a mesmerizing fact that everyone has such a friend by birth. It is his own SELF in his own HEART. Next two friends are his Parents. Fourth friend is your GURU who teaches you the right path and strives hard to make you a successful person, even though he doesn't have any blood relationship with you. Fifth one is your life partner who joins your family, accepts you, forgives you, loves you by breaking down all the boundaries that you have kept for yourself up to that moment and teaches you the beauty of openness. Sixth one is a person from outside your family zone alike in your thoughts. I think each and every person have at-least six such friends in their life.
