Friendship, what is it? is it something short term with little significance or contrary? In my view friendship should be something based on long term relationship; a relation that involves expressing yourself, your feelings easily, a relation that has honesty,selflessness, trust mutual understanding, compassion and never having to fear the judgment. These are the traits that most of friendships lack today, that my friendship lacked with someone and is the reason for me writing this article.
Some people assume that the pillar of friendship is how much gifts you share, how much interests you have in common or things like that but what they forget to themselves is what is their role in making the relation strong? In my opinion friendship really is about reciprocation, its not just about what you want but what the other person wants from the relation? WE just expect our friends to be their for US no matter what? we expect them to be perfect always and in doing so loose a relation that otherwise would have been a blessing for us. At least that is what happened to me!
Friendships should be free of greed, self interest and they should be above all Reciprocal, only this way we will be able to nourish and sustain our Friendship. Furthermore true friendship free of greed and selflessness results in paying dividends to which monetary riches can not be compared in any way. Most of the times reasons for the friendships ending are mistakes and misunderstandings. Speaking from personal experience, I regret all the factors that were involved in finishing a perfect Friendship and I hope my Readers here will not make the same mistake; just give some space to your friends for making mistakes, they are human too.
According to modern studies especially those pertaining to sociology have termed Friendship to be the most important relationship in ones life, a relation that helps him/her get through life with ease, A true Friendship should never be allowed to end as it revitalizes our life and takes it to a whole new level!
