Friendship is forever?

Friendship is forever? i bet to differ on this statement. after what i went through i would say that there are many different types of friendship. there is friendship that is based sorely on sex, on money, on interests. but in my opinion, i feel that friendship is a fragile thing. it is based on love, care and understanding. if any one of these elements is lacking, i would say that the friendship would most probably fail.

Friendship needs alot of care, love and understanding. the boundaries of friendship is always being tested when faced with trials and tribulations. from here we can test how firm and how solid the friendship is and whether the opposite party is really sincere about this friendship. it matters not how close you are to that person, or how much time you spend with that person because it may all well come apart when faced with trials.

True friends are not those that jus pamper you with gifts or say nice things to please you. but rather true friends are those that are able to point out your mistakes and accept you for the person that you are. overlooking your faults and being there for you when you need them. making time for you despite their busy schedule. finally, after certain events i can savely conclude that true friends are really hard to find. one may find them so but in reality they are not.

Nothing lasts forever. Not even friendship. jus like how the sun will one day burn out and the oil will run out one day. it is only a matter of time when this happen. Friends are easy to make, but hard to maintain. having lots of friends doesnt mean that they will be there for you. jus like the parable about the wayward son as told by Jesus in the Bible. his friends all deserted him when he is broke and penniless and who are this true friends in the end? none other than the people he turn his back on earlier in his life.

thus when one is making friends, one should thread carefully. for not all friends are good friends. there are those friends that are like leeches. leeching on you for cash etc. there are also those friends that pretend that they are your friends but behind you they backstab you. these are the friends which are known as the 'parasites' or 'weeds' that needed to be exterminated and remove.

if friendship is like the seasons. the 4 seasons would probably be the hardships and joy that they faced. it is hard to avoid some of the seasons as it all comes in a cycle. everything has to happen for a reason and over here it is happening. Spring, a period of happiness would probably be the happiest period of that time. winter would probably be the worst as it is the coldest and lowest point of the friendship. if they can brave it together, what follows would be spring- a happy period. authmn would most probably marks the start of the declining period of the friendship as it is unavoidble for it to moves to the lowest point- winter. summer is probably the period whereby everything is smoothly sailing and is the pinnicle of the friendship where much is harvested from it. it is impossible to avoid any of it as nature would take its course.

Friendship is also like flowers, it blooms when it is fed properly and taken care of properly. if it is jus let alone, it will rot and die. however, i must stress that friendship is something that should not be taken lightly. once committed do not back out. but rather give your best to nurture and let it flourish and make not the same mistakes that others have made. because as the saying goes, 'once bitten, twice shy', and it is 'better to be safe than sorry'

my advise to you is to look carefully before choosing your friends, but if you feel that this is a friendship worth nurturing, give your all, give your best. so that if anything happen later part in the friendship at least you can say to yourself, 'i tried my best, but it is simply not enough' and one would have no regrets as one gave one's best for it. and most of all do not assume too much in a friendship, always talk things out and try to find a solution to the problem and not leave it dangling in the air waiting for it to be solve by itself. it will do the friendship no good.
