Hey all. I would like to use this opportunity to address something which we all value. Also, recently a couple of my friends have been affected by different issues and as a result feel lost and "depressed". So I just wanna delve into the meaning of friendship.
The following poem rings ever true for me.
A Friend That's Always There
If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you
And share with you it's beauty on the days you're feeling blue
If I could build a mountain you could call your very own
A place to find serenity A place to be alone...........
If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me
I cannot build a mountain or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best.
A friend that's always there.
So what really is friendship. True friends are the people who walk into your life and never leave when the world does. They are a watch which beats true for all time, and never "runs down." Friends consider our need over our deserving. People often say that love is blind. Blind to the faults of others. Friendships just try not to notice. They are the constant reminder of who we are and what we are.
Friends don't allow each other to compromise beliefs and interests. Friendships are based on one single fact. Trust. Trust is like the engine to the car that is friendships. Every little hello, every little smile, every helping hand saves a hurting heart. There's a miracle called "Friendship" that dwells in the heart. You don't know how it happens or when it gets started but, you know the special lift it always brings and you realize that Friendship is God's most precious gift! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us. Which is why sometimes you love a best friend more than a boyfriend.
This is the true miracle of friends. Friends that stick together no matter what. Quarrels occur but results in an even tighter bond. This kind of friends must be cherished. For friendship is a 2 way thing. You can't expect people to constantly care for you. You must care for them too.
All these are my true feelings. Please leave a tag if you've anything to add. This is Dan signing off for now. Also, all are welcome to contribute ideas for Part 3 of Life After NP. Only logical ones will be entertained.
