No man is an island. It's a fact. It's a way of life. It is even written in the Bible. Even the most powerful man in fiction has the Justice League. Simply put, you won't be alone even if you tried.
These days, friendship seems to be very helpful to cope up with the stress of modern living. I am not saying that during the old days, living without a friend was a good idea. It is just that having a friend nowadays would really make a difference in your life. Your friend will serve as your adviser, critic, shock absorber, your personal jester and sometimes your enforcer.
Personally, for most of my life, I have made some really good friends. Some of them I even consider as brothers or sisters. As a saying goes here from where I am from, "You can keep a secret to your family but you can never do that to your true friend." Friendship had been one of the factors of my formative years. If you have chosen good friends, then your all set. Why? Because true friends help each other out. True friends will not let you stray away from the path. Your friends will be one of the foundations of your character. As another saying goes, "Your friends define you."
I consider myself lucky because I found really good friends. And because of them, I learned a lot of things that I may not even have heard of if only by myself. Even in the most drastic time of my life, my friends were there. They may not be the same person on each occasion but they were there.
Of course, in every human relationship, there would always be conflict. This would be the test of bonds. Those who can't cope with the conflict, may it be shallow or serious, aren't really friends. They are merely acquaintances.
Right now, I am going through some major adjustments in my life and I am really thankful that my friends are there to support me all the way. Even in my most undesirable moment, they stuck with me as some others would just have left me alone. we may all not be the same, but having something in common really builds up the bonds which connects us.
Sometimes, your friends need your advice too. Even though you know that they are have a much stronger personality than you, you try your best to give them the best advice also. The reality of it is that an advice is merely an option of what to do. The more advice you give or take, the more choices you have on how to deal with things. With more choices, you can have the best idea on which one is the most applicable to your situation.
I dedicate this one to all the friends that I have especially to those two "kumags" who are so patient enough to put up with me today.
Many people don't like me. I really don't give a damn. But these people stuck with me. Well, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Ride Safe!
