Usefulness:
Friendship is no doubt useful Friends help in our
difficulties. Friends save us in our dangers. Friends give us timely advice.
Friends guide when we are perplexed. Friends wish our good friends like us from
the core of their hearts. We feel relieved when we tell our sorrow to a friend.
A true friend is our asset. Friends share our sorrow and redouble our joy. When
we are in pain and agony our friends soothe us. They console us.
False Friends:
We should guard ourselves against the false friends.
Because some people pose to be our friends to meet their own interest. When
their interest is met, they leave us. They sometimes betray us for their own
interest. They never hesitate to sabotage. Such friends are more dangerous than
enemies. Because they catch us by surprise.
Besides false friends, there are another class of friends
called summer friends or fair-weather friends. They remain with us when we are
rich and they leave us when we are wretched. They share our fortune but not our
sorrow. So, we should not depend on their friendship with us. The summer
friends behave like summer birds, the summer birds come when we have summer.
They fly away when the summer moves away. The summer friends, however, are not
so dangerous as the false friends.
Choice of friends:
We will have to make the right choice of friends.
Otherwise in the course of life we will find some friends who will desert us in
our misfortune. Some friends will also turn enemies for us. Some friends will
be used against us by our enemies. So, it is not easy to make a choice of
friends. It warrants our conscience, consideration, induction and foresight.
For choosing a friend, we must have a
deep insight into the human character. We should remember the golden saying.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed.
