The population is rising tremendously and making friends is easier than finding a soul-mate. But there is the trick that we fail to see. A friend is not a person whom we know. Such people can be our acquaintances. We hang out with a few people and them we add them to our 'friend-zone'. But how often do such people turn out to be our friends forever? Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. Others are like autumn leaves found everywhere.
My Chinese horoscope says I am a dog. Whuff!! Its actually quite dumb for me to write this, but I was quite proud. This is because the horoscope explained, "Dogs are the most faithful of all animals and can be the best of friends you can imagine". That's what I would perhaps want from someone. True friendship. It will ensure you will never fall apart.
We have friends who make us smile. Some make us cry. Friends who are a better child to our parents. Friends who act as our parents. Friends who help us enjoy their riches. Friends who enjoy with us by spending in bits and pieces. We have those who can do anything for us while those who are with us just to get anything out of us.
Between all these intricacies in life, we will definitely find a few friends without whom our existence would have voids. Friends who make us believe in ourselves and our capabilities. Even when all seems dark and we fail to see any hope in sight, there will be some friends who will carry the beacon of light.
Before we move on with our life and maturity creeps in and we get involved with our family and before we meet our kin, salute this unequivocal bond called friendship. A bond that has no reason, no source, has no blood relation and no driving force. It is just a feeling of attachment, and that's good enough to carry it all the way.
