What is friendship?What is the meaning of this relationship?We have often sought answers to these questions, yet we have never come up with an adequate answer. This is because this relationship is an amalgamation of beautiful and complex feelings, which may not often be described in words Defining a relationship is never easy, as there are so many facets to it However we don't need a bunch of words to make us realize the deep meaning friendship According to George Elliot Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words. This heartwarming expression captures the essence of friendship. When two people share a strong bond of mutual understanding,respect and love it lays the foundation stone for an everlasting friendship. This bond just gets stronger with time; the trust between the two people grows and so does the attachment. This is the beauty of the relationship and is the essential meaning of friendship. Being friends means being there for each other at all times, whether it's good or bad. A friend needs to be very understanding and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Ideally the meaning of friendship is sharing unconditional love for each other However this is not an ideal world; therefore some form of expectations are allowed, but that has a limit too The purpose and meaning of friendship is to make life's burdens lighter for our friends and not make them heavier. The Roman thinker Cicero said Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. Searching for the meaning of of friendship has always been a burning question However as soon as we meet our friends all these questions get answered automatically. The answer to what is the meaning of friendship lies within our hearts because true friendship can only be felt, and not expressed. Something so pure and essential is not always visible to the eye, but is felt by the heart

Quite a lesson for us this discussion. I wish I could under all the words you said here but the important thing is that we all do want to have friends but we don't want to be a good friend. No pain no gain.
