Essay on the Importance of

Friendship
Article shared by Kirti Daga

Friendship is a relationship that all the individuals can create by themselves.


Though it is not a god gifted relationship like that of the relationship of a mother,
father, sister, brother or any of the other family but still it is one of the best
relations an individual can possess. People who have true friends consider
themselves as the luckiest individuals on earth.

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value;


rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.” – C.S. Lewis.

We do not make friends because they are useful but the bond of friendship, once
it grows stronger and stronger has a number of positive aspects. There are
certain secrets that can only be shared with our friends only. When we are facing
a difficult situation in our lives, only true friends come forward to help us
overcome all the difficulties.

Every friend is important and their importance in known to us when certain


situations arise which can only be solved by our friends. One can never feel
lonely in this world if he or she is surrounded by true friends. On the other hand,
loneliness prevails in the lives of those who do not have friends despite of billions
and billions of people present in the world. It has been truly said that “A friend in
need is a friend indeed.”

Friendship is a beautiful bond by all means but while making friends, it is


essential to keep in mind that one should always be aware so as to differentiate
between true friends and false friends.
True friends are committed and stand by your side even in the rough phases of
your life. False friends on the other hand are truly examined only when difficulties
knock your door. Most of them show you their back and join hands with either
your enemies or with other successful people. One should always try to maintain
a distance from false friends. False friends are those who support you in times
when you are rich and famous. As soon as fame and riches leave you alone,
false friends also act as if they do not know you; you become stranger in their
eyes. It has been said that only a difficult situation in life can make individuals
realize who their true friends are and who their false friends are. It is always
advisable to stay away from such individuals in order to maintain your peace of
mind.

It is extremely essential to be capable of making proper choices in life especially


when we are interested in choosing the group of friends we want to support and
be with for the rest of our lives. Choosing proper friends is a bit difficult task but
not impossible. We should have a group of friends who are disciplined and
punctual individuals. This is essential because of the reason that we start
becoming like the people we hang out with most. If for example one or two of our
close friends are involved in bad habits such as smoking, drinking and taking
drugs, sooner or later we will follow suit. This is the reason why it is advisable to
make a proper choice when it comes to making friends. True friendship is as a
matter of fact a blessing enjoyed by a few. Those who have it should thank God
for having true gems in their lives and those who do not have a few good friends
should constantly strive for new ways to secure good friends. No company is
better than having a friend by your side in times of need. You will remain happy in
your one room apartment if you are surrounded by your friends; on the other
hand, you cannot find happiness even in your mansion if you are alone.

There are times when your family fails to solve all the problems of your life; you
can easily get out of these problems of yours if you are in communication with a
few friends.

People who are lucky enough have a group of amazing friends who support them
in facing all the hardships and adversities of life. Having a single good friend
helps an individual to overcome all the hurdles in his or her lifetime. On the other
hand if an individual does not have a single good friend life automatically turns
hard. Securing true friendship is extremely essential to become successful in all
the areas of life. I pray that everyone everywhere is surrounded by at least one or
two good friends throughout their life.

The following lines of a famous poem best describe friendship:

“Best friends stick together till the end,They are like a straight line that will not
bend.

They trust each other forever,

No matter if your apart you are together.

They can be your hero and save the day,

They will never leave your side they are here to stay.

They help you up when you fall,

Your true friends are best of all.”


To sum up, it can be said that love, the most amazing feeling on Earth is
incomplete if it is not supported by friendship.
