A friend
My teacher gave us an assignment to write about a little story that happened to me. So I’d like to
just share my opinion about friendship with you. It is
just my thought.
According to the great Roman Statesman Cicero “Friendship
increases happiness and diminishes misery by doubling our joy and dividing our
grief.”
Human cannot live all alone. He is a
social being. He needs someone to share his joys and sorrows. Generally, it is
only the people of the same age, character and background, mentality, etc., who
can understand him and understand his problems. We need to select our friends
very carefully. We have to remember the maxim “All that glitters is not gold”.
In the same manner, we must not be moved by apparent show of friendship. Many remain
with us in the guise of good friends and lead us to the wrong path. Today, many
youngsters have become social nuisance mainly due to wrong company and bad
friends.
We have to distinguish between
fair-weather friends and true friends. True friends remain with us through
thick and thin while fair-weather friends are found only during sunny days.True
friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring. Friendship is both good
and necessary. They are needed to turn to when one is in trouble, and facing difficulties..
Friends are needed in every stage of life. Friendship has no age limit. Every
group of people- children, youth, elders, very elderly people, etc. have their
friends. It does not matter how often you meet your friends, but how much you
care and feel for another in good times as well as in bad times. True
friendship is a great asset in life.
