Followed by family, friends are the epitome of love the Almighty has gifted humanity here on earth. It is such a cherished moment when you have friends in your company, who seem to think and feel just as you do. That connection between yourself and such friends tend to automatically get activated whenever you meet up.
Easy going friends largely find less or no grounds to fancy disagreements on basic issues. Coming into common terms with such friends come naturally and are surprisingly so genuine. One unnoticed surprise about this is, it doesn’t matter the gender of the partner/friend, you need not be much focused on how to coin and phrase sentences during conversations. Before you consciously realise, all would have been said and done. It is however different in the other case where your thoughts as are running through your mind is always very well activated and focused on the relevance of each word you bring forth.
Friendships can, however, divide our pains and double our joys. You’ll realize that your pain lessens whenever you share it with a trusted person. This person takes a burden of sharing with you the grief running within yourself – during difficult times, for you indirectly have that inner feeling that reiterates the saying,
” A problem shared is a problem half solved”.
On the other hand, your joyous moments tend to double, triple or even quadruple depending on the number of close friends you’ve got.
True friendship reaches it’s climax when friendships are not dependent on what one actually benefits from the relationship, but when one is actually proud of being known as the friend’s friend or vise versa. It’s always a sweet feeling you know! As human as we are, failure to give a helping hand to a friend might arise in certain special circumstances. This obviously has a tendency of ruining the trust element which binds the friendship together. But it shouldn’t -for all humans are fallible. In your quest to making new friends, you should have in mind not only the prospective benefits you could derive from the friend but also trying as much as you can to serve as a medium towards helping him or her to live an improved life.
One thing I will like us to realize is, one needs not to profess and justify his friendship to you before you realize that. Though regular communications or conversations with friends go a long way in maintaining friendships, we have to note again that it’s not always the case after some time. It is a case that constant communication with friends sometimes breeds avenues for hollow and irrelevant conversations which breaches the prime essence of having friends. Friends have to miss each others’ talks at some point and this at large, is the wheel on which quality communications are premised (whenever you’ll have to have a chat with these friends at last).
Be open-minded in friendships, stay humble and respect the views of your friends, impact positively on their lives – as they’re as well expected to do same. Be a good person and don’t be too expectant. At this point, you are good to go towards enjoying that magnanimous positivity evident in having true friends.
Peace!
