What are friends?

In this modernized era, friendship between both genders and races do not receive the heat of the glaring eye anymore as compared to the olden days where a mere 'hello' between a male and female was considered too much. We have become so modernized these days that unthought-of events such as gay and lesbian marriages are now, not only a reality but common too!


But, to answer your question, friends are one's companion because no matter what your mood is for the day, these friends would be there to bolster your confidence by supporting you in whatever actions you take. In short, one can regard friends as trustworthy, honest and yes, maybe a little angelic (unless they decide to join forces with the devil).


To my knowledge, all friendships face problems every now and then.. It is the action taken as well as the outcome of it that determines the strength and direction of the said friendship. Having friends is like having a partner only, it isn't that close. The same issues are addressed: Trust, Honesty, Guidance, Loyalty, Love, Care and so forth.


To be a good friend can sometimes be a hell-ish path if the other party is not co-operative at all. It can also be sweet. Like in the movies we sometimes see, rich girl has no true friends or something like that. A life like that is certainly bound to be lonesome and one i would not wish upon myself!


The gap between a friend to a good friend before progressing deeper into being a best friend isn't that wide but, the path to it is full of challenges. Friends can be acquired anytime; good friends are always there for you. Now, to be a best friend, one needs to go the extra mile and prove themselves through time.
