About Friendship

by Bakhytzhan

Hi my classmates! Today in this blog I’d like to talk about friends and friendship. 

First of all, friendship is one of the most important things of our life. Friendship can be between people, who grow up together, have the same interests, occupation, but sometimes absolutely different people.  Some people think that they have a many friends, but I think people may have only three or two, sometimes only one true friend. In fact, I have three friends, whose I call true friends. We have known each other since childhood. Actually, a person who has true friends in life is lucky enough. Friendship makes life brightly. Also, it makes life sweet and pleasant experience. It can lead us to success or to doom. It all depends on how we choose our friends.

Moreover true friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring. It is a feeling that someone understands you as you are, without any exaggeration, flattery and pretensions. It gives a feeling that you are ‘wanted’ and that you are ‘someone’ and not a faceless being in the crowd. A true friend stands by you through thick and thin. Friendship is both good and necessary. Human cannot live all alone. He is a social being. He needs someone to share his joys and sorrows. Generally, it is only the people of the same age, character and background, mentality, etc., who can understand him and understand his problems. Friends are needed for support and for sharing. Friendship is an elixir which is essential for a happy life.

Also, friends are needed in every stage of life. Friendship has no age limit. Every group of people- children, youth, elders, very elderly people, etc. have their friends. However, it is better to have friends of the same age group and cultural backgrounds. We need to select our friends very carefully. We have to remember the phrase “All that glitters is not gold”. Today, many youngsters have become social nuisance mainly due to wrong company and bad friends. So, we have to choose our friends very carefully. We have to distinguish between fair-weather friends and true friends. True friends remain with us through thick and thin while fair-weather friends are found only during sunny days. 

Finally, friendship is indeed. Good friends are great pillars of life. They help us to stand tall and erect in life. Friendship can make or break us. It can lead to good careers and proper living. It does not matter how often you meet your friends, but how much you care and feel for another in good times as well as in bad times. True friendship is a great asset in life.

So, I hope you have true friends and real friendship.
