“A man is known by the company he keeps.”
Probably one of the most commonly told and heard statements
to be ever quoted around the globe, when the topic friendship is brought under
discussion. Every word of it is indeed as true as it is possible. If one were
to define friends in the briefest way possible the simplest and most
comprehensive definition of this one word that could be offered would
definitely be, the family we choose.
The first person you look around for in all times of thick
and thin, happiness and sorrow, achievement or loss, pain and agony or mere
celebration is indeed your friend. The one person you believe would never walk
away, even if the whole world turned their backs towards you. It is a matter of
basic mutual understanding that causes us to blindly trust this person who we call
our friend, such that we consider them the rightfully chosen person to be aware
of everything and anything about us, our past, present or future. We might
choose to conceal something from the entire world but there is and will always
be an unspoken word of agreement between us to allow the other to access all
our deepest darkest secrets, and sometimes even those shades of our personality
that we don’t choose to reveal in front of many apart from a few chosen ones.
That sense of satisfaction of being accompanied by someone with whom sharing
hours of silence won’t be a problem is only reserved for this one person. The
person who knows exactly when we need to be cheered up, when we require someone
to boost our confidence, when we need the reassurance of being valuable to
someone else and when we need a shoulder to rest on and take a break from the
world.
All this and much more correctly sums up one of the most
valued relationship of our lives, friendship. The most flawless and demanding
yet dependable relationship that is pure from all sorts of evil intentions. The
one relationship where it’s not the mind that works to win someone’s heart but
the heart decides who it is comfortable being around with. Ever since this
world came into being man has known to make friends and it can be said without
even a hint of doubt that we always tend to choose those as our friends who
mirror our personalities, interests and habits. Of course differences exist in
every two personalities but it is friendship that causes us to unite with the
people we find things most common with.
I believe true friendships speak more about a person’s
personality then what he/she ever be able to express on their own. You choose
to be with those whose traits you appreciate, those who you find honest, just
and above all the ones with a heart of gold. Your views on the people you like
to have around yourself are themselves expressed without you having to say a
word about your thoughts.
