Wisdom for Love & Friendship- Friends are a treasure. Cherish them!

 Friendships are made beyond
class, race and religion.

“I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.” - Thomas A. Edison

Remember those days when your high school crush proposed another girl and your best friends comforted you as you cried all night? Friends are life's support system.

We are blessed with so many relations to cherish - parents, siblings, cousins and relatives. Each relationship has its importance. Being with your lover or your spouse in a marriage relationship has its own significance. But nobody can take the place of friends. Friendships are made beyond class, race and religion.

With friends, insignificant and even mundane things become so enjoyable. Long conversations over the phone, gossiping, ranting about your boyfriend, cribbing about your colleagues, having coffee together, enjoying shots of vodkas, sharing books, shopping for clothes, sharing recipes; everything is so much fun when you are with your friends.

Friends make you laugh when you are feeling low. They give you hope when you are in despair. They are the people with whom you can discuss everything on planet without the fear of being judged. Of course there are moments of fights, and arguments in a friendship just like in love and relationship, but friends are the ones who stand by you in hard times and bring out the best in you.

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” - George Washington

However, don't confuse friends with pals. You may boast about having those 200 “friends” on Facebook but all of them are not true friends. Pals are only acquaintances. You may enjoy a few drinks or go out for a movie with your pals. But if you are looking for understanding, faith, comfort and motivation, you will find that only with your true friends.

Choose friends wisely

It is wrong to say that everything is destined. The fact is that we choose our friends. You are judged by your friends. As J. Willard Marriott very rightly said, “Choose your friends wisely-they will make or break you.”

A true friend guides you to the right path
and corrects you when you are wrong.

Wisdom in relationships and friendship says that there is no point in being friends with somebody who diverts you from your goals. A true friend guides you to the right path and corrects you when you are wrong.

When you are sad, a friend is the one who notices pain in your eyes despite you trying hard to conceal your sadness behind your smile. When you are in a dilemma, it is a friend who offers you the right advice. When you are in trouble, a friend is the one who stands by you and makes efforts to take you out of the mess? TRUE FRIENDS are a blessing. They make life worth living.

Cherish the wonderful relationship you have with friends. Especially women become all-consumed with their special someone when they get married. It is normal to devote time to your family life. But do take out time to hang out with your girl friends and stay in touch. As Pam Brown once said, “A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.”
