The community of more than one people, where humans are involved in their activities, is called a society, that is why the great philosopher Aristotle has said that man is a social animal, that is, the way animals prefer to live in groups, in the same way that a human brother can make his own group. Likes to live A person living in a society has a feeling of love and compassion for another person living in the society and it is due to this feeling of love that a relationship arises.

It is said that friendship is a feeling that arises from the playground of a child in his childhood and stays with him till his old age. Every person living in society is surrounded by some kind of problems and in order to share these problems, he is looking for a person to put his heart's anguish in front of him.

That person can understand this pain and show him the right advice and the right path, this feeling of friendship that arises in the heart of man is a natural tendency. There are two types of people in society, one who instills happiness in people with his goodness and goodness, and one who hurts the mind of people by his bad behavior.

In society, we should befriend such good people who help us when we are in some trouble in our bad times and not those who leave us alone in such circumstances. The person who is our true friend treats us in our bad times in the same way as any other person does in our happy days.

Krishna- Sudama friendship : An Indian story

An example of such friendship is the friendship of Lord Krishna and Sudama. Sudama, who was a very poor whose family lived in very poor poverty, it was so poor that many times his family had to sleep on an empty stomach. Sudama used to tell his wife about his childhood friend who had studied with him in the Gurukul, that he is the king of Dwarika state and is humble and amiable by nature.

Hearing all this about Lord Krishna, Sudama's wife said to Sudama that once you go to Dwarka to meet your childhood friend Krishna, do you know that we should help you by seeing this condition of our poverty. On hearing these things of his wife, Sudama said that we have nothing to gift him, on hearing this, his wife asked for some rice loan from the neighborhood and gave it to Sudama.

Sudama ji walked towards Dwarka state with rice and when he reached Dwarka state, his childhood friend Krishna respected him very much. Sudama ji was very unhappy while meeting and he was hesitant how to give this rice as a gift to such a big person, Krishna understood his inhibitions and that is why he forcefully snatched the rice packet from him.

After all this, when Sudama started returning to his home, why did he think it was futile to come here. Sri Krishna did not help me at all, but it was not so because when Sudama reached his house, a palace was built there instead of a hut, thus a friend helped his childhood friend.

Friendship is not one that leaves a friend in distress for his own selfishness, but friendship is that which helps his friend even by putting his life in jeopardy for a friend. In life, it is very important to know the difference between a good and a bad friend, because a good friend will save us from every kind of deception and will benefit us in every way.

But how long a bad friend will support us till his selfishness is removed and if we join a good friend in our life then we should understand that we have earned the greatest capital of our life.

True friendship is identified at the most difficult time of our life when we need someone and someone our friend comes to us and helps us, this work can be done only by a friend who is our true friend and supreme friend.

A friend is like a brother, only you have different parents. He will always defend himself. For example, if someone offends you, a friend will not even think, he will certainly intercede, even if he knows that he will also receive. He will walk with you to the end, whether you are right or not. A friend will never be hypocritical, but will tell the truth, whatever it may be, but will try not to offend. He will worry about your inner state and peace of mind.

Money or a career never comes between friends. They say that friends cannot work together, they say they will quarrel. Or you can't introduce a friend to a girl, because it can lead you away. In fact, this is nonsense. If friendship is really strong, then people, like a close-knit family, live by the interests not only of their own, but also of each other.

There may be several friends in a lifetime, but usually there are not many of them. For example, at school, a child usually has a whole group of friends. Then he will go to college with someone or will live nearby and continue to communicate, but over time, people's interests change, the way of life and friends are eliminated by themselves. There are only time-tested ones with whom you can talk and who you should rely on.
