Who Are Your Friends?

'Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.' Undoubtedly, this adage is true and used as criterion to assert man's personality. As a matter of fact, the difference between an individual now and in future is ascertained by the company he or she keeps. What kind of company do you keep?

In our today's world, people make friends for different reasons and anticipate the best from this venture. Some may seek for happiness while others may seek for encouragement, information or intimacy, their friendship motive. Perhaps, people make friends for encouragement, ignoring support, information, ignoring reliability, intimacy, ignoring dedication. The lists are endless! It can be inferred that most peoples of the world are not really experiencing the completeness of friendship simply because they prioritize their 'what they want from the venture' at the expense of others. What is then completeness of friendship? The question can be rephrased as: what is true friendship?

Consider a complete building. A complete building typically comprises of an obviously not-seen foundation, concrete walls, roof tops, beams, pillars, louvers and other essential facilities. Imagine a building without louvers, pillars, roof tops or beams. What do you think will likely occur? The answer to the asked question is analogous to what happens when certain qualities of true friendship are absent. Again, what is true friendship?

Note that when making friends, ensure that the qualities of friendship are salient or exert your 'good' qualities to check or balance any discrepancies observed. True friendship is a foundation which is built on by reliability, intimacy, encouragement,'noticeability', devotion/dedication, support, happiness and information.

RE: Who Are Your Friends?
Again The-Emperor gives us a pearl of what could be the true and real FRIENDSHIP... Ya emperor, all what you said is really wonderful and so easy to say and even to write with the longest poem in the literature ...but who could applicate this...who could make him or herself as an exemple to follow to be a real truthful and faithful FRIEND...Inwhich world could we find all these friendship values...in which place could we find real friends???!!!! It is sure that here in the life, there could be some of people who live the real meaning of friendship and they are so chanceful to get good Friends who know what should be the friend for the other... It is so true also that REAL FRIENDSHIP as you describe, emperor, here, would be the WISH of all human being on the earth whatever his origin, whatever his concerns or social class...All of them ( poor or rich, employee or big boss,male or female, young or old...) need a friend in his life... So let us be so trustful, so faithful, so tolerant with our self to find who could be as we are or we wish to be!! Thanks emperor twice for this topic that you had written before me because I wanted really to speak about as one of main subjects which could be discussed here on the forum. God bless us all. Greetings

RE: RE: Who Are Your Friends?
Thanks a milllion Meriam for you comment,you really blinded me.As you have said Everyone needs friends in the society because friends can give you rest station of your heart if you are tired about your daily affairs.Friends may not be many but must be really true friends. Just as the saying goes "a friend in need is a friend indeed" so if we have lots of good friends we will find life will be beautiful and wonderful. Really I can't add anything else I'm out of words,you have already said everything so thanks again......my regards.

RE: RE: RE: Who Are Your Friends?
Thanks the-Emperor to what you added as wisdom lyrics about real Friendship... You said:''I'm out of words''..I am really as you said because you said what could be so useful and so precious to say... It remains to add that FRIENDSHIP is not a word to say..neither a tune to song..nor a plate to draw..nor a story to tell ...It should be more than all these...It should be more than a feeling...it should be a gesture to do...an act to make ...a reality to live...a Human one with self,soul and body to respect and to help when he needs even a smile to make without any interest...without waiting for any price...Just A FRIEND ..A REAL FRIEND as human being deserving to be as FRIEND!!! Good luck for all ..Good luck for a REAL Friendship respecting our Manners and our faith as arabic muslim ones... Salamouallaykom

RE: Who Are Your Friends?
hi everybody...friendship is an important thing in our life, but do we always choose friends basing on our own principles...hmmm let me disagree with you here..i think the basis of friendship lies not only in similarities of interests or in desire to be supported, but in total opposition too..

RE: RE: RE: Who Are Your Friends?
Hi everybody...thanks all for your comment,i appreciate it a lot.I think a true friend is one who will not only recognize what you said but will also recognize what you did not say. A true friend will never demand anything in return. He comes to you with no strings attached. That is what is the basis of true friendship. There is almost a feeling of oneness and selflessness between both of you.A true friend will never take you for granted and will almost be like your alter ego.Best friends are tough to find and even tougher to recognize. You may be putting in all your best efforts and helping a person in distress thinking that the person is your best friend but it may so happen that he uses you as a pedestal for moving up higher in life and he has used you as just one of the steps to conquer. How sad that will be but this is very true in today's modern world. Best friends are the ones who will stand by you in your bad times. They are there for you in your time of adversity and they will always lend you that helping hand when everyone else turned their back on you.This is the single most factor that determines whether someone is a best friend. Someone who devised the saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed must have been through all this to come up with such a correct and succinct definition of a true friend. On other hand a true friend will always have the courage to tell you upfront if you are doing something wrong. He will not try to hide feelings if you are wrong or have bad habits. He will always tell you things as a matter of fact and with no prejudices. This is a hallmark of a true friend. So think about these things and find out for yourself if you have best friends.

I think that friendship is firm when kindred spirits meet.

RE: RE: Who Are Your Friends?

I agree with your opinion very much , as the saying goes without some struggle, do not know each other , and sometimes the enemys will become friends.
