Who is a friend and what are the qualities a friend should posses? The definition of a friend and friendship varies with each individual. For me, a good friend is someone who understands me, accepts me for what I am and at the same time inspires me to do the best. At a personal level, a true friend should not give up on me, should always forgive my mistakes and never judge me by my actions as sometimes my actions may be rash and inconsiderate.
We live in a very competitive world. Most of us are caught up in the rat race or paper chase. Mounting work pressures and demanding family commitments take a toll on our time and energy. Consequently most of us experience mood swings due to the high expectations placed upon us. It is during time like these, when we are burdened with responsibilities and life seems to be an endless uphill struggle, that we seek the comforting words of a friend; a friend who urges you to pick up the pieces and move on. A good friend is always there to lend a helping hand or to lend us a shoulder to cry on. At the same time, a friend should be trustworthy and loyal. When friends trust us with secrets, we should never betray their confidence. No one can confide in someone whom we cannot trust to keep our secrets.
True friendship is demanding. It requires loyalty, trust, empathy, support and understanding. However, one should never except such virtues in a friend unless he is willing to offer these virtues in return. In other words, one must be a friend to have a friend.
It may be impossible to find all these virtues in a single friend. However, should I come across such a friend, I shall treasure our friendship for life. As I reminisce about the good times I have shared with the best of my friends, the words of William Shakespeare ring in my ears:
The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.Yes, friendship that has stood the test of time should be most revered and happy is the person who is blessed with such a friend.
