What is friendship?
In the last few days, I have been deeply touched and learnt the lesson that even common friends and aquaintances can be true and valuable friends. Though we only communicated once is many months and had collaborated briefly on some community work, I appreciate their concern and care for each other's well being, health, work and family.
Hearsays that people from certain backgrounds, education and occupations are cold, insensitive, materialistic and uncaring. Such unfair and prejudicial views have been proven erroneous many times.
"With friends like that, you don't need enemies". Well, that statement may seem a bit too harsh. Let's say, actions demonstrate if certain people can be counted on. One does not need substantial help whether in the form of effort, money or time spent, just a little word of encouragement and expression of understanding.
In conclusion, we do not have to be longtime friends, family members or close associates to forge a meaningful and lasting friendships.
You many not need to have many so-called friends to be happy. Quality prevails over superficial quantity.
Thankfully I am one of the fortunate people with a few good friends, and the numbers are growing.
