Man is a social being and it is hard for him without communication. He always meets with different people, whether they are colleagues, neighbors, casual passers-by or friends. Few people choose loneliness as the path that should be taken throughout life. Although at the same time the situation of "loneliness in the crowd" is often encountered. But if you have a friend, you are not alone.
At every stretch of life, from early childhood to old age, a person seeks to have friends. The desire to make friends is determined by the inner need to have a person or people with whom you can share both joy and sorrow, spend time together and understand that you care about them and can count on support and help in difficult times. Friendship is, first and foremost, disinterested relations between people based on trust, mutual sympathy, common interests or hobbies. Indeed, you must admit that it is difficult to be friends with a person who has absolutely opposite views on life, other tastes and preferences. And friends are connected by invisible threads of understanding and some kindredness of souls. Although outwardly and in character, friends can differ very much. Aristotle said that a friend is one soul, living in two bodies. It's hard to disagree with him. Friendship is very valuable to people. She is needed in order not to feel alone, especially in difficult times. But the peculiarity of friendship in its pure form is that it is a bilateral relationship. Therefore, they definitely need to not only “take”, but also “give”. Friendship is also important in the process of becoming a person. Friends with someone in kindergarten, what is a true friend? This is the person who will always come to the aid at the first call, provide the necessary support, listen, give practical advice. With a friend you can talk about everything in the world, share secrets and inner experiences with complete confidence that they will try to understand and not betray you. After all, when you are doing well, there are always friends and a nice company around. But only a true friend will stay close and in difficult times.
