Even the most successful person on earth cannot live without someone with whom he cannot share everything which he may or may not want to share with everyone. Friendship means a privacy which we all get when we tell our secrets and we know that they will be kept secret. I may have something to tell my friend that is a sort of secret to me and may or may not be a secret to my friend but I know it will be treated like a secret only. Things are never complicated or easy. The only thing that matters is how we see them. I may not be understood by a person who is a very close friend of mine but may be understood by a person with whom I do not much interact.
Every person has got a different mentality and a different way of thinking. We all try to adjust with what we think and what is acceptable, throughout our life. "Acceptable" means what majority of people think which may or may not be always correct. Thus we cannot force any person to become a friend of ours. Its not like that God has decided how many friends we will have in our life but its simply like who we get and whom we are able to retain throughout our lifetime. The key to retain friends is to be what you are. People are said to have changed when either they have been someone else or they now try to be someone else. Apart from these reasons, humans as friends are not made so complicated they cannot be understood.
I have my own set of people whom I call my friends, as everyone has. We are always proud to have them and want them to be a part of our every big or small moment of happiness that comes in our life. However we do not want them to be a part of our hardships, at least I don't want them to be with me in my hardships, though they are always expected to be. It is well said that when we share our happiness, it increases and when we share our sadness, it decreases. Similarly when we share our happiness with our friends, it just doubles and when we share our sadness with them, it almost disappears. It does not matter how much a person can share my sadness or how much he helps me out. The only thing that matters is the presence. After-all the abilities or dis-abilities were never the criteria of making friends.
A day more and it will be a friendship's day for all of us. A day to remember our friends whom we never and even cannot forget. A day to make them feel that we are there with them throughout their life, no matter how far they live or how long they are not able to meet us. A day to give to people without whom we cannot say... we are happy as our happiness depends on them in similar way as their's depends upon us. Obviously this includes them also whom we daily meet, listen to and talk to and wish this to happen everyday.
Happy Friendship day to all my friends...
