Friendship

I’ve been contemplating what to write about for a while and then two of my close friends got into an argument about friendship and it got me thinking. What exactly is my definition of friendship? And after a lot of thought I think to me friendship is love with understanding.

So is being a good friend just about offering a shoulder to cry on? I think not. To me, a good friend is someone you can talk to about anything, someone who makes you laugh, someone who cares about you, someone who goes out of his or her way to do things for you, someone who looks out for you, someone who knows how to comfort you, someone who listens to you, someone who is willing to pick up the pieces when you fail and most importantly someone who understands you.

So can a single failure end a friendship? I think not, for a true friend is one who already knows all your faults but loves you and accepts you anyway. And according to me friendship cannot be destroyed by a single failure or won by a single act. I believe friendship is a lifetime venture, in which we are constantly learning, discovering and growing. And a good friendship is one in which the people involved can grow separately without growing apart. So to me friendship is special bond, a bond for life.

Umm...... gud definition of friendship. But have you experience all this things in your friendship. Don't you think it also depends on how far you are from your friend geographically. Those friend whom you meet everyday and those friend whom you meet once in a year or two will always be different.
But I hope that doesn't happent to you.
