Post#5: What is Real Friendship?


In people's live, we will meet a myriad of other persons. Sometimes, lives will bring a person or a group of people who might be worthy and important for us. These people may become friends in our lives; however, everyone keeps asking “what is real friendship?”. People usually have myths about real friendship. In my opinion, friends are the people who are willing to share happiness, joy and vexation with you. Even when we feel depressed or sorrowful and want to cry, they will not leave but accompany with you until your mood turn to happy. We might have a lot of friends around us, but only a few person can become your “best friend” who makes you feel comfortable to share heart with.

According to Webster dictionary, it provide several definitions of the word “friend”. It says that friends is “ one attached to another by affection or esteem” and “a favored companion”. Nevertheless, these definitions are not enough to describe what is real friendship? A real friend is not only means “one attached to another by affection” or “a favored companion”, but it also can refers to an extended definition to explain.

When people meet each other at very first time, they will never realize they will become best friend at all. They might have the same mind like “I don't know this person before, but we can be a normal friend previously.” Gradually, you might realize he or she is easy-going and enthusiastic person for you to be with, and you have the same topic to discuss or you are crazy for the same thing. The most important thing is you are willing to share everything with each other. When he or she is sad and depressed, you will feel worry and care about his or her mind. The same as you, if you were sorrowful and felt everything is bad and unmeaning, they would stay with you and never leave.

A friend can tolerate your characteristic or habits, so you can show them your true characteristic and do not need to afraid them abandon you. When you did something wrong or incorrect, they will not judge you furtively. They will blame you and do what ever they could do to remind that is not good for you. Since they want to to transform for good, so they will tell you truth without any lie. Even though you are unconscious to hurt them, they will forgive you and tell you “Don't worry. We are still friends.” Real friends will tolerate and forgive you thousand times.

As real friends, They truly care about you, so they do not hope you get hurt. For example, If you were happy they will be joyful too. They will concern your mind every minute and never forget to help you when you run into a trouble. They will support at any costs, and what they want just a smile from you. So as you, they are convinced that you will sacrifice for them too. Sometimes, friends might be closer than family or lover since a real friend does not retain her or his love to help you.

Furthermore, in my country, we always say “a good friend is also a good teacher and a nice listener.” People usually have several vexations in their lives. They might not be comfortable to share these problems to their co-worker or family; however, they can ask help from friends. A real friend is willing to listen your difficulty patiently. Then, he or she may provide a lot of methods that you can consider to use to solve your difficulty. You are only a person, but when friends gather that can be a strong power, they will give you nice solutions to solve the trouble in a short time. They might also provide a lesson for you that you can learn more through this difficulty. They are not only your good advisers but also great teachers.

In sum up, a real friend might be hard to find since we cannot predict when will they come into our life. However, they will appear in our life and bring something to learn for us. A real friend will help you to grow up, share every feeling with you and support you without any costs. If you already have a friend or several friends like that, please cherish the friendship and never break it. Otherwise, you will regret for a long time. If you did not find the real friend, it is okay, you can still keep believing he or she will come into your life soon.
