TOPIC FRIEND/ONLINE SHOPPING ESSAY

FRIEND/FRIENDSHIP
A friend is a gift you give to yourself. Friends are those people in your life with
whom you do not have any blood relation. It’s a relation of love and affection
towards other people. Your friend is someone with whom you feel comfortable and
can easily share your thoughts and feelings. You do not have to think twice when
you are with your friends. A true friend loves you unconditionally, understands
you, but never judges you and always tries to support you and give you good
advice. The friendship of Krishna and Sudama is a great example of true
friendship.

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.” ― Elbert
Hubbard
A true friend is one will always be there when you need someone. He will leave all
his important works but will never leave you alone, especially in your difficult
times. That is why it is said a friend in need is a friend indeed. Difficult times are
the best time to realize who your true friends are. Blessed are the souls who have
true friends. It does not matter how many friends you have, what matters is how
many true friends you have. Friends show us how to live a life in a different way;
they are the ones who can change our viewpoints for good. There is no growth of
the person without any friend. A friend is really very essential to understand life.
Until now we have been looking at life the way our family wanted us to see, it is
only when we see the world with the eyes of a friend that our view point changes.

The kind of friends you have determines the kind of person you are. That is why it
is advised to be careful before making a friend. Choose someone with good
thoughts and character, because our thoughts and feelings are affected by the place
we live in and by the people we live with. Be friends with someone who makes
you feel free, positive and alive.

A couple should be best of friends for a successful marriage. Husband and wife
should understand each other the way true friends understand each other. They

should have love and understanding, trust and respect for each other. Thus before
getting married one should give importance to the degree of friendship a couple
holds. As said by Nicolas Sparks in the novel “The Notebook”- “You are my best


friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I
treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.”
Many songs and stories have been written on the importance of friendship. It
breaks the ice between two unknown people, if the other person is friendlier then a
person feels more comfortable and easily opens up. Even a small drop of
friendship can do wonders and employee, members of an organization etc. Heaven
will fall on earth if we can eradicate ego, selfishness and hate and grow love and
friendship for each other in the hearts of people.
