What is the difference between friendship and love? This question has always been in the
minds of people for centuries. Though a definite answer (36)

for this question, one can come

across some differences between the two.
When love can be termed as a sacrifice, friendship can be termed as a trust. Love is a feeling
(37)

is uncontrollable, and a feeling which one has for another individual. On the other hand,

friendship is quite different
(38)

love in this aspect.
Love is a feeling between two individuals, and most of the time when they say "She/ he is my

one and only" and in this case only two individuals are involved. But there are times people may (39)

in love with more than one individual, but it is considered morally wrong when you already have
a partner or a boy/girlfriend. On the contrary, friendship involves more individuals without any guilty
feelings involved. One can have many friends, but most of the time an individual can only have one
person (40)

. You can love your family and that's another topic for discussion.

In love, there is great attachment for the other. Most of the time an individual gets strong feeling of
hurt (41)

his loved one is in pain or hurt. This attachment may not be strong in friendship.

Regarding the emotions, individuals in love will experience a faster heartbeat when they meet their
loved one. This is not so when friends meet. There is no way that one will lie awake and think of his
friends for a whole night, but lovers will have sleepless nights, and dream about their lovers. The
lovers even sleep and wake up with the thoughts of his or her lover.
