'friendship' and the company they established is one of the basic physiologic needs of human. it may be far more different from water, food, air, or clothing, but they played as an important part in our existence. though it does not make us breath nor make us live, but it makes our life more worthwhile. and that's the beauty of having a friend. it makes you stronger during your weakest point.

You may don't be in love for a while, but you always have friendships...:) Imagine that you don't have any friends, just being around at home, talking with your mom, your dad or with your brother and sister only, for sure your life is so so boring. With friends, we can share, ask advice, together going out. Yes, we can share with our family member also, but some problems we can share with friends only. When we don't live together with parents, we will know how important friendships are. And it is very sure that friendship is an important part in our life...:)

True friends we can count on to be apart of our life come what may. When we have friends in our life who genuinely care for us it's important that we show them our appreciation and always look out for them as well. The time that we spend with our friends really can be so much and we can have a great time getting to catch up on what's all happening in each other's lives.

To have some emotional support-to know that if everything gows wrong, there is someone who's gonna help us get up. To have someone who can see immediately if there's something wrong with us and may know us better than we know ourselves. And a have a FRIEND with capital letters like this.

A friend like that is truly amazing. When we have people in our lives who focus on others and helping them out we should not take their friendship for granted. And we should strive to show them the same care that they show us.

yeah! the relationship being established between the bonds of friendship should bank on trust. if you don't feel safe with those you treated as true friends, then you must think twice for considering them as one. but hey! you can be friends with a lot of people you'll meet every day. finding a true friend is a gradual process of getting to know more of your friends until you feel you're comfortable with them.

Friendship a word that you compare to family. The essence of it is that it only hope for the best and the care for each company. No man is an island. Everyone needs to socialize but this socialization will be nonsense if there is no friendship formed. They are the people you can count on, they are the one who will stay even if the world will turn down on you, they remain to help you and cheer you up.

I agree with you. It is important for us to socialize with others. Usually those who don't like to socialize start to become negative and withdrawn. Spending time with family and friends is beneficial. It's important for us to be with those that we care about and share our life experiences with.

Hello geinu17, Friendship is indeed one of the essential need for every human being. Friends play a vital role in our life and being. Honesty, love, affection, care and understanding are the pillars of a true friendship. Some situations in life cannot be dealt with without the support of our friends. Friends work magic when nothing seems to be going right in our life. You are right in saying that friends make us strong during our weak times. People who find such true friends are extremely lucky and I must say I am one of those lucky people. Touch-wood!

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The qualities that you mentioned are very much needed in great friendships. These type of qualities will always work towards building up the relationship of one another and striving to have the other person's best interest at heart.

Yes it is a part of the needs that a person should have. In this life we make enemies therefore it is just to have allies. Hehe It would really make our life and problems with friends around. They made up for our other minds, they are our sidekicks as we are to them. It is simply a joy to have them around.

welcome to the wonderful world of mylot geinu17. in this iste you will also gain friendship that will make your myloting worthwhile. you help them earn and they will help you as well. i also agree that you need friends and they make you stronger when you are weak, but make sure that you pick friends that will make you strong when you are weak for there are a lot of people who are just nice when they need something and evaporates when you are the one in need. i am proud to say that i only have few friends and they all make my life worthwhile and i hope i affect their lives the same way that they affect mine.

Friendship to me is that desire to interact with people that you can connect with on some level. Someone that you have some kind of common ground with. A person where you can really just enjoy being around and they can rather enjoy being around you. There are just going to be many times where seeking those friends can have many hoops to jump through but it can be a rewarding existence. Is it strictly needed? Of course not. Does it make life a lot easier? You better believe that it does. There are times where we are given strength, hope, might through friendship and really just allow us to move right forward through every point in our life. It is a true wonder and something that is just great to experience one hundred percent of the time. The essence of friendship can lead to something wonderful.

I agree with you. Having true friends who are there for us and who sincerely care about us is very important. It really does make our life so much better. I greatly enjoy spending time with my friends and family. They all are an important part of my life that I'm so thankful for.
