" No man is an island that stands alone", often heard and uttered by almost all people around us. This reflects the reality that human beings in nature, we tend to mingle and get socialized with others for existence. We need companions and friends to be with us in times of laughter, troubles, sadness, loneliness, emptiness and even in success. We develop new friendship wherever and whenever we go but one thing is for sure, we will cherish and we will not forget our old friends but instead we establish a bigger circle of friends. In the essay, we can see that we unconsciously choose circle of friends and buddies because there are barriers of differences between us. But we can really break this differences by making it as an inspiration not to withdraw friendship but to strengthen it instead.
Friendship is one of the human relationship we really establish either we mean it or not. In friendship, there is a physical and emotional attachment to each other and when we will be apart from each other we will really ponder and cherish the moments when we are with them. With this kind of relationship, we can feel acceptance and security in times of great frustrations and despairs because when we have real friends we can turn to them when the world seems to be cruel to us. We can consider them as our main defense and our crying shoulder in good and bad times. We will not focus on their faults but instead we correct them in a nice manner and they are our second family, sisters and brothers even time seems to limit us and as even distance prohibits us.As friendship stays in our hearts even there is a great distance, we keep in touch to them and seeks time to listen and share wonderful thoughts to them.Even how heavy and hard our burdens are, with circle of friends everything seems to be fine and manageable. But we cannot consider all friendships as real and true, we cannot deny that there are some fake friends. They are your friends when everything seems to be alright but when times call for their help, they leave you suffering. But one thing is really great about friendships. It stays in our hearts and at the same time we learn lessons and values from each different personalities we encounter. Friends make warm days fine and cool and they also gives spice for us to know the real meaning of life.Moreover they are like stars that brighten our dark some nights,our blanket when we feel cold, our handkerchief when we are in tears and our voice when we can hardly speak.
