Friendship


I still couldn't think of any other article that I could post in my blog aside from this article I made last night for my Effective Writing class. Perhaps, I could add something more interesting later today. I actually made a similar article during my high school years. I just added something here to make it longer and meaningful.

FRIENDS

Can you still remember the friends you had in the past? Can you still remember the precious moments you had together? Our world is full of changes. We tend to let go of some few things in order to discover new ones. Time continues to flow, and we have to go along with it. 

Every time we hear the word "friends", we would always think of those people close to us. People whom we may share our joys, tears, fears and pain. If true friends are hard to find, why do we sometimes take them for granted? Is it because they are many? Or is it because we can easily find a new one? 

In our journey to life, we meet different people, we make new acquaintances. Our friends today may no longer be our friends tomorrow, but is it really necessary to leave them for us to go on with life? 

If you consider yourself a true friend, you must learn the value of friendship. Friendship for me isn't just for the sake of having company. I believe that in friendship there should be care, understanding, honesty, faith and love. 

Can you imagine yourself leaving your friend in his/her time of despair?  Can you imagine yourself blaming your friend for his/her mistake instead of asking why he/she did it? Can you imagine yourself telling everybody else your friend's secrets? Can you imagine yourself turning down your friends hope because of your lack of faith? Can you imagine a life without someone to share it with? If you can't, indeed, you are a true friend. 

The saying "We've lost a diamond because we were too busy collecting stones" is true to some of us. Sometimes, it is when we lose something that we truly realize its value. We may measure the days, weeks, months and years, but true friendship is immeasurable.
