Friends

Friends are people whom we turn to when our spirits need a lift.. They are always by our side through thick and thin. They stand beside us when our character is not perfectly right and will fight for us if we are oppressed. Therefore, it is clear that friends play a crucial role in shaping who we are today. But what qualities exactly do we need to look for in a friend?

A friend should always be caring towards you. He/She should take interest in your problems no matter how big or small your problem may be. A friend should be able to sit beside you and encourage you to keep your chin up even when everyone else is against you. A friend's empathy and lovingness will also replenish your worn-our soul and will make you realize how important a friend really is.

Apart from that, a friend should be an honest person. An honest friend will dissipate any worries that he/she is lying towards you. A friend's honesty will enable you to trust his/her opinion when it comes to telling you the truth about yourself. For example, an honest friend will remand you on your declining grades and will ask you to work harder while dishonest friend will see with a blind eye. Therefore, an overall improvement in yourself will be noticeable if you have an honest friend.

Moreover, a friend should be generous both emotionally and knowledge wise. A friend who is generous ought to be able to connect with you and provide emotional support. He/She should also be generous when it comes to sharing knowledge. A true friend must be ever-ready to help you when you are weak in certain subjects. A friend can easily guide you towards understanding the subject matter better as he/she os often on the page as you. The only difference is that you cant quite grasp the content of the page per se.

Besides that, a friend must also be able to humour you. Humour plays a important role in making your day more lively and enjoyable. Friends who pull your leg and mess about will indefinitely make life seem so much better. As they say,laughter is the best medicine and a little levity on rainy days is always welcomed.

In conclusion, friends are people we spend most of our time with. Thus, we have to be selective when  it comes to choosing our friends.
