Friendship

Origin

Friendship charms any individual as romance. The understanding, liking and common interests among individuals (who sail on the same thoughts) is a good source for nurturing friendship. It is not necessary that people with the same framework and bent of mind necessarily become Friends .On the contrary it is a relationship that develops as a result of one?s liking for the other(mutually reciprocated) whatsoever the reasons may be.

Epitomes

Two examples are usually quoted when discussing friendship. The first one is about the soldier who risked his life to ensure that his friend died at this lap in a battlefield. The second one is the story of our own Tamil King Koperuncholzhan and poet pisaranthiar. The later died along with the former in a battle field who decided to relinquish his life after losing a war. The irony in this case is that both of them met for the first time and that their friendship had continued till then without one seeing the other. Is this not the pinnacle of friendship?

Basis

Another significant issue is that it does not have any barrier. Age, Sex, Social Status, Nationality, education is immaterial as far as genuine friendship is concerned. Similarly it is necessary to understand that vices help to seek friendship .It should not be concluded that virtues alone help to make friends. ?10 minute glass mate is equal to 10 years classmate? is a popular saying. Whether this statement is logic or healthy is not the subject matter of this discussion. This is only an attempt to study the friendship element kindled by vices and does not take any other parameters into account that might otherwise have to be included. The truth is that a true friendship cherishes (whether out of good or bad company).The policy of give and take occupies the numero uno position in terms of characteristic features of friendship. Other attributes include trust, respect and real love and affection. The list is indeed nonexhaustive.

False

While the earlier paragraph accounted the sources of friendship, it is equally important and imperative to understand what does not contribute friendship. The story of a friend who left his companion in lurch (in a forest) when a bear tried to attack them is a well known one. This apparently seems to be a story but it is more so true in the modern context, where people use honey coated words to lure others and seek undue favors in the name of friendship. They make friends with others who will help them in one way or other. This is by and large the attitude of the society. If we are to debate on this issue it will be evident that the word has lost its meaning in the ever expanding competition and commercialization. Friendship has become the pathway to achieve a profitable business network or partnership. The fact always remains that true friendship still exists but the relationship is less sensitive than it ought to have to been and it was in the yester years.

Cheating

The case of betrayal is viewed very seriously in friendship. It is considered more serious when compared to that of a foe. The foundation or building block of friendship is trust. When trust is broken there can be no excuse or chance for the continuance of friendship.

Human beings and animals

The characteristic features and attributes of friendship for human beings apply equally to animals. The intensity of friendship among them remains the same irrespective of the ages and any other factors. Probably there seems to be the difference between six senses and lesser.
