What is Friendship meant to me?
Friends are people who share the same goals, who come together because it’s the only way to move forward. They might not be look-alike or think-alike but they make a pledge to grow together, laugh and cry together, help each other and put their faith in each other.
Even when I was a kid these words of the fire dragon slayer wizard Natsu Dragneel from the shonen anime “Fairy tail” were very close to me. Most people think, this is also true for them but they actually lying to them-self. How you ask? Let me explain, If you ask any teenager to explain what is friends ship then they will give you an outstanding speech, If you ask them to show their friends then they most likely would point out all the students in the class or closer to that, some might go even further, maybe they will point out all the students in the college or their entire Facebook followers but how this can be possible? Can they all be friends? Do they all have a common goal? The only thing they have in common is death. If anyone tells you the entire class is their friends, then they simply don’t even know the meaning of friendship, at least according to my theory. On the contrary, some could say that people don’t need common goals to be friends, then let's consider a situation. One boy became friends with a girl, it doesn’t have to be a girl any way they don’t have a common goal or anything in common, then there is a bigger chance of commensalism or parasitism. One will take advantage of others for their own gains. We can surely say that it’s not friendship at all. Let’s take another situation, the boy had a dream to become the fastest runner in the world and the girl wants to become the greatest artist, their goals are widely different, but they both have a common goal. Both of them need to become the greatest, the best version of themself, So they can support and help each other and that is friendship.
Just backing up to the classroom guy who told us the entire classroom is his friends, he surely doesn’t know their goals or sufferings, So how can he be friends with someone he barely knows? And before I conclude this section let me remind you this Love and Rivery are also a type of friendship, we could say that it is the best form of friendship ever. Don’t confuse the meaning of the word friendship, nowadays the term friendship vastly miss used, WhatsApp friends, Facebook friends, and more, always remember we only call them friends because most people call them friends the majority think that is its true meaning, but they are wrong. I also have friends, the people who stood beside me, made me a better person, expose the wrongs in me they are my friends. I don’t call any random stranger a friend, a friend is the topmost award anyone could get, and it will stay that way even both of us bite the dust.
Well, all know friends don’t have to think alike, and people need people to grow that how we have evolved. The main take away from this is that friends are more like family to me, I will care for them I trust them, even without passing a word I will find what they think, I will find what they lack and I will share with them, I will give my life for them so don’t ruin the light in friendship, you might know a lot of people but they all can’t become your friends, but you have to know people who are friends of yours.
