This article will surely be an eye opener for all those who fall under the category of people whom am going to describe. This world does not have friends who have the same attitude towards towards friendship always. One of them values the other greatly but the other may be of a cheap character like using his comrade. This is worst as slavery and leaves a tarnished feeling in the friend's heart.
If this is not clear, let me dwell deeper in to this. Some people make friends with other people just because they have got something to complement them(the self). Of course, friendship is complementing what the other has not got with him/her, but making friends for the sole purpose of it, is something that is rancid. The other person utilizes the other's potential and doesn't even bother to ask about his problems or not even cares to complement his weakness. This is not friendship, I guess! The irony is that the person who utilizes the other does not realize that the other party clearly knows the attitude of the other most of the times. So, those who belong to this category please beware, because you can be fired anytime!!
Friendship is a mutually beneficial behaviour and to one extent can be symbiotic, where one person benefits and the other, neither benefited nor harmed. But, the problem is that people tend to be parasitic and try to suck most of the resources from the other. There are also kind of people belonging to parasitic category but still produce an image that they are very friendly, which is a hilarious comedy for those who know them deeply!
Friendship does not lie in roaming with and chatting together. Its Tete-a-Tete feeling one has with the other. Good friends can read each other's mind and can heal each other's mental wounds just by good thoughts. This is called telepathy and it surely works among good friends and only pure friends can realize this mystical power. Money doesn't matter among friends but the timely help and the open mindedness are the most wanted attributes for great friendship. Don't be egotistic with friends and good manners is in not letting down your friend when in public and not in all those high-fi behaviours.
To give that final touch, always help your friend achieve his/her dream. Enjoy with your friend but never leave him gasp for breath to come up in life after that hourly enjoyment. A good friend is the one who is a strict teacher at times and a gentle comrade at the other. Prestige is not a issue in making friends. Even the son/daughter of your house maid can be your best comrade, provided you both decide to hold that thread of good friendship forever. Remember, friends acquired for the sake of status and pride will leave you off when the both leave you. Don't have a perception about people without ever having a word or two with them. Finally, try to estimate the amount of care the other person shows on you and rate your friends accordingly, because every one cares for you but with a different gradient....
