What is Friendship?

Yesterday I had accidentally stumbled across a programme in an FM Radio, in which I came to know that 2 nd August, was a ‘Friendship Day. Fans opted for their favorite songs which highlighted the friendship. Perhaps, we have such a day to remind ourselves on the value of friendship.
Then I came to the real question. What is friendship? In fact it requires an elaborate and comprehensive definition. Friendship is an unique relationship based on mutual understanding traversing the barriers of sex, race, color, caste, religion, age, nation or country.
There is a proverb ‘familiarity breeds contempt.But in my opinion familiarity breeds friendship.In the modern day context, especially in the on line, building a network of friendship is to facilitate and widen your contacts, so as to build up your business and to increase your income. In the process we actually create a net work of like minded people or the people who have similar interests.
Suppose, if you are interested in writing articles, blogs, poems and short stories, you are in search of people who have similar interests. In other words, we can say that while love is blind, friendship is not. It has eyes. Writers befriend writers, poets befriend poets, doctors befriend doctors, engineers befriend engineers and teachers befriend teachers and so on, which means friendship emanates between the like minded people, who have similar interest and knowledge. In fact such friendships have solid base and foundation.
Sometimes, friendship that arises between a boy and a girl naturally blossoms into love that ultimately leads to a marital relationship.
In the modern days, friendship in its perverted form turns into a gay, lesbian, trans gender and bisexual marriages amidst controversies. The basis of such perverted form of relationship is nothing but sex.
But when you analyze friendship a little more deeper, friendship apart from being mutual, in its ideal form, it is caring; it is understanding; it is selfless, it is reciprocal; it is devotion for the cause of others.
Friendship evokes friendship; it creates a congenial and harmonious atmosphere and relationship between friends.
The foremost value of friendship is that it civilizes the human beings and raises their level of relationship to a higher plane.
Apart from that it is the friendship that plays a vital role in regulating the relationship of countries in the world.
Let us cherish, let us build up, let us value and let us commemorate friendship in the true sense of the word !

Good comment.
Nice article.
True friendship can’t buy with money, and they’ll go along with you no matter whether you’re rich or poor. Thanks and have my liked it.
Pretty good except that I do not agree that gay and lesbian relationships are purely based on sex and sex alone, many are based on love. I do know many heterosexual relationships based on sex, and many based on money. I dont think people become gay because of a perversion in their friendship.
My best friends are my pets, because I have distrusted humans as many of my so-called friends later teased me and I became the butt of their cruel teenage jokes.
nice article.
Keep sharing
Love it a lot!!!
Agree with Nelson about gay/lesbian relationships. Especially when such relationships survive amidst the many odds they have to face.
I have my pets as my friends as my real friends stabbed me in the back, so i am weary of friends and how much do you trust them with your woes.Yes we still need friends, but in my case i never had many and the ones i had were two faced and dishonest, so i learned to live without friends, i have a couple at the moment.
It is sad to read that others like myself do not have friends. I simply have been burned too often by so called friends. That is why I so dearly love my dog. she is the best friend I can have. I also agree with B. Nelson. Gays are no different than anyone else. They have loving and caring relationships. It is no more about only sex, than any other relationship.. I admire people who have true friends, like Ophra and Gail.
Thank you all for your comments.I respect your views and comments.One thing I must agree; while we cherish the value of friendship, it is also true that it is quite tough to find a real friendship that is selfless, caring these days.It is also true that many of you also have varied experience like both sweet and bitter with your friendship.It is also pathetic to note that many of you have found true friendship with your pets.What I tried, I repeat what I tried to say was something about the ideal form of friendship and to define it as well.Anyhow, I am happy that my article has brought out the true self from many of you. Thanks for your invaluable comments.
Very nice article. Have published an article on friendship in helium and AC too.
A beautiful article on freindship. But it is true there are few real friendships these days, only mutual interests.
