I believe that the word friendship has got more to do than just accompanying a person to the movies, to fast food shops or restaurants, to far out places during vacations or just being a good company in good times. In fact the word "friendship" has a deeper meaning than that and weighs so heavy which no weight measurement machine in the world can weigh. Anybody is capable of being beside us in our cheerful times but how many of them we find beside us in our bad times or at times when we are really in need of help or some kind of mental support. The answer is too few to mention or none. Can we then consider the relationship as friendship? The most probable answer is no. It is easy to have fun, to be cheerful and take things easy and simultaneously extremely difficult to deal with the depressing challenges of our lives which bows down before us every now and then. So unfortunate to mention that through our experiences of the journey of life we find ourselves alone and melancholy in an individualistic world locked up by ourselves in these times with no friend beside us.

Now coming to the friendship point I should say that friendship is an integration of sincerity, love, affection, well wishes, care and responsibility. A friend is an inspiration to do good deeds in life, earn a good image, earn higher respectability and self esteem in society and live a happy and peaceful life. In order to achieve all these everybody needs to have a peaceful and healthy living which can be achieved through social harmony and tranquility.

Any unhealthy relationship causing frustration and despair is a big bar towards this wonderful achievement. Therefore when I see my friend going out with a bad guy or girl I make it my duty to inform my friend about the idiosyncrasies of the person he/she is dating. But I have to make sure that I inform him/her in such a way so as the person feels my utmost concern for him/her. I should not in the least present myself in such a way that my friend feels I am being jealous of his/her happiness and for this I should not be criticizing his/her boyfriend/girlfriend rather I should politely point out the flaws in their character and leave it totally up to my friend to take the final decision. Even after all these my friend fails to make the right decision I should not dictate or dominate my friend on his/her actions rather I should always stand by my friend constantly with patience guiding him/her to the right path.

I do not mean to do it only in these
