Friendship is about solicitude. When we get ill in bed, our friends will put aside what they are doing and come immediately to us. They will sit by our bed so that they can get what we need at the moment promptly.
Friendship is about encouragement. When we fail and find ourselves hopeless and helpless,friends will be there ,accompanying us, bracing us up and seeing it through with us.
Friendship is about consolation. When we weep in grief, our friends will be around us, hearkening to our bitter experience and trying their level best to make us feel better.
Nevertheless, it is superficial to perceive friendship as gaining benefits from others. Friendship is more than that. We can’t merely receive. We ought to repay as well because friendship is reciprocal.
Friendship is about tolerance. We can’t expect our friends to be flawless because no one is perfect. We should be magnanimous enough to accept some of their shortcomings, which they endeavor hard but fail to get rid of.
Friendship is about forgiveness. They shouldn’t be considered as bad friends even if they do something wrong to us. We are supposed to listen calmly and even-temperedly to their words as well as accept their sincere apology. A trifle is not supposed to injure a great friendship.
