FRIENDS AND FRIENDSHIP


What is friendship? Some people will say that it is a feeling of mutual liking between two or more people; other will add that it is a state when one person understands and supports the other one.
According to the dictionary friendship is a feeling and behavior that exists between friends, but what these feelings are and what this behavior is, one should decide for himself.
Friendship is extremely important for every person because everyone needs communication and understanding. A friend is one with whom you spend your free time, share your thoughts and interests, who keeps your secrets, whom you trust and who is always ready to help.
A real friend will never let you down, you can always rely on him.
But in my opinion it isn't an easy thing to be a true friend and before somebody can name you his best friend you should prove your friendship. To my mind everyone can have only one or two true friends, because a friend to all is a friend to none. I believe that faithful friend can make your life more interesting, vivid and enjoyable. You are interested in your friend with all his positive and negative traits of personality and your friend in his turn can understand and forgive you everything. You shouldn't tell a lie to your friend, there mustn't be hypocrisy in your speech and even in thoughts. Before telling your friend something, before doing anything you should think a lot and guess what kind influence it will render on him and on his life. So I think that it is difficult to be a real friend, but to my mind all of us try to achieve the ideal of a true friend.
I’ve got a lot of friends. Some of them are close, some are not, but all of them make my life brighter and more interesting. I would like to tell you some words about my best friend Olga. She is 15 years old. We study at the same school, at the same class, and we seat at the same desk. And we are close friends.
In my view friendship is a gift from God. I can’t imagine my life without friends. As a proverb says, “Life without a friend is like death without a witness”.
