Definition of friendship
Friendship is defined as an interpersonal relationship between two or more
humans or higher intelligent animals which exhibit a mutually helping behavior.
Meaning of a friendship
Being friends is a very important ordeal. Without friends, our daily problems
would become distorted and seem hundreds of times worse than what they really
are. Friendships help us through our bad times and give us peers to have fun
with.
Recipe for friendship
Friendship is one of those things which come natural – something that
should not be forced or lied about. When looking for a friend, be yourself.
Friends will come. As for after the friendship has evolved, friends help each
other and do not lie to each other, except white lies. The most important aspect
of a friendship however, is trust. |
