...Friends are very important in our lives. Friendships are easily formed when we are young and do not demand too much out of it. According to studies and research, humans tend to form highest number of friendships at kindergarten and primary level. However, one tends to have less friends as one grows older and wiser. This is because we realize there are good friends and bad ones. The saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed is very apt in this scenario because good friends are those who are reliable and trustworthy. at a younger age, our demands are not too high regarding friendships as we rely mostly on our parents, siblings and relatives for important things. The friends we formed at this age are merely considered playmates rather than companions and confidants. Thus, our expectations of them are not high. More serious friendships are formed when one enters puberty and achieves certain level of maturity. the latter allows one to forge fellowship with those who share the same interests, passion as well as similar moral and religious values. Thus, it is not surprising to observe that in some Asian country, mature students at the upper secondary level have friends of the same ethnic and religious backgrounds. At the university level, it is even more apparent. Even the Ministry of education has voiced concern over this phenomenon where polarization is prominent. The Indians, Chinese and Malays hardly mix with each other and are seen usually in the company of their own...

...I just hate it that today is one of those days when I don’t have nothing to do, so the only thing left in the table is read, and since I can’t do that the other only thing I can do is write. Today I felt like writing about friendship, the real friendship, so here goes nothing: I never ever got the true meaning of friendship, until I started losing it in some way. It isn’t that I lost it completely; it’s just that my friends and I have grown apart and that kind of sucks. But before that I always wondered what friendship really is and what it really means. And now being in a different school and not with the same friends and growing apart with my friends, I asked myself that question again and I think that maybe I have found the real answer. Being in a new place with new people, new faces it is hard to fit in. And this especially when the others know each other already. So you have to start everything from the beginning , you start to tell everyone your story, your favorite things and the reasons why you like them, but they still don’t get it, they still don’t get the reason why you are who you are, and they want to change you. And then is when you start to change, because you think you aren’t good enough and that maybe that is the reason why you don’t fit in. And you change everything from yourself, and by doing this changes you start to lose your real friends, you start to lose a little bit of yourself every day, you are not the same old you, the one with big strange dreams...

However, it seemed that people forgot to maintain the established friendship and friendship's objective conditions, because the friendship is too common for us. Actually, friendship is not unconditional. Initially, while making friends , a large number of people tend to choose those who are similar to them, and prefer those have a good quality.

Both sides are able to benefit from this friendship. In some people's minds, friendship is unconditional, they are willing to pay for any person in the world. When the friendship to a certain extent, the unilateral pay will happen. They don't want to be able to get what they want, they are willing to give, and often we call them true friendship.

...are in need of the friendship and company of others at all times of their lives from birth until death. The inherent social nature of human beings make them obliged to live in society with the company of people and to avail themselves of the assistance and support of friends. Thus a dear friend is one who never leaves you alone or feeling helpless in this world, because they are there for you under any circumstance, regardless of the sacrifices required. Imam Ali (AS) considers true friends to be a great asset in this world as well as in the Hereafter and says: “Procure friends for yourselves from amongst your brethren-in-faith because they are a great asset in this world as well as in the next world”. In another remark, he considered sincere friends to be as good as the most important part of the human body and says: “One who loses a noble-hearted friend who befriended him for the sake of Allah is like one who loses one of the main organs of his body”. An essential point on friendship is that it is only valuable when it is for the sake of Allah, and the only companion who is reliable, is the one whose friendship is based on taking you nearer to Allah (SWT). As opposed to friendships which are based on things that are finite, such as seeking to fulfil ephemeral pleasures, obtaining wealth, position or beauty. Hence, it is vital to keep in mind that these transient things that will eventually depart from you, will never equate to an everlasting friendship. The danger ensuing...

...As everyone knows, friendship is one of the most important things in our lives. Sometimes we cannot live without friends. According to relationship, we have to make friendship with good friends to get benefits. On other hand, we have to be optimistic although we have some bad friends in our lives and we have no idea about them. However, I can divide my friends into three groups: honest friends, successful friends, and motivated friends. The purpose for the classification depends on my society. My honest friends are always with me whatever happens to me or wherever I am, and that makes them honest friends. In addition, they always say the truth and help me when I need help. Therefore, I spend a lot of time with them more than anyone else. One other thing I love in my honest friends is they always ask me about my health, my education, and all other things. For instance, "A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling". By Arthur Brisbane, The Book of Today. In my view, friends should be honest to each other, no matter how hurtful things can be. Second group of my friends is successful friends group. Actually, they almost do good things. They study hard and try to save their own time. I hope I spend a lot of time with them to learn new and useful things. Furthermore, they always advice me and convince me to do useful things.

...Friendship Friendships are the gift to the man kind. The relations which we get in this world are blood related. But the only relationship which does not related to blood is friendship. Friendship has many forms and shapes. It is like water. If we pour the water into a jug it takes the shape of jug. if you pour the same water into a bowl it takes the shape of bowl. Same way friendships will take a different shapes and sizes according to our heart. Friendship gives pleasure to human beings. Where there is friendship then there will not be any sorrow. When you see a child laughing you will forget your sorrows for a second, same way when you are with a friend you forget your sorrows. Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed. The lover, beholding his maiden, half knows that she is not verily that which he worships; and in the golden hour of friendship, we are surprised with shades of suspicion and unbelief. We doubt that we bestow on our hero the virtues in which he shines, and afterwards worship the form to which we have ascribed this divine inhabitation. In strictness, the soul does not respect men as it respects itself. In strict science all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining for the metaphysical foundation of this Elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are. Their essence is not less beautiful than their...

...Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association. Friendship has been studied in academic fields such as sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and philosophy. Various academic theories of friendship have been proposed, including social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles. A World Happiness Database study found that people with close friendships are happier. Although there are many forms of friendship, some of which may vary from place to place, certain characteristics are present in many types of friendship. Such characteristics include affection, sympathy, empathy, honesty, altruism, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of each other's company, trust, and the ability to be oneself, express one's feelings, and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the friend. While there is no practical limit on what types of people can form a friendship, friends tend to share common backgrounds, occupations, or interests, and have similar demographics. THE DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF FRIENDSHIP Developmental Psychology In the typical sequence of an individual's emotional development, friendships come after parental bonding and before pair bonding. In the intervening period between the end of early childhood and the onset of full adulthood, friendships are often the most important relationships in the emotional life of the adolescent, and...

This might be a little harsh to say but without friends or family you’re practically nothing, which makes it even worse for yourself and your everyday life, because then you’re probably also boring and being boring is not a good reputation to have on your shoulders especially not when you are trying to pick up friends. I if you want to have good friends you also have to work for it, it’s not just some Christmas card from your aunt which you are receiving and taking it for granted afterwards. Having friends is not a cliché; you have to be there for them and the other way around of course. A Good Friend In every friendship circle there are the normal friends, the better friends, and of course the best friends.

The best friend is someone who you always can count on, he or she is always there for you no matter what, your best friend has to be the one which you can trust 100% and it’s very important to be sure that you can talk to your best friend about anything without being shy or embarrassed, if this is not the case, you might want to go look for a new best friend, or learn to deal with these kind of things in your relationship.
