On Friendship

friends. Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate. In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person. So friendship can benefit every individual and thus complete society which is composed of numerous individuals. That is the very social function of friendship.

I hold the point of view that friendship also has its historic nature and functions. Friendship is created since it is needed and lasts until it fulfills its tasks. If you are obsessed by a problem, a certain friend may come into your help until the problem is solved and then will be somewhat estranged from you. Friendship is produced because you want a helper and he is willing to be a helper. Friendship is estranged because it has served both of your purposes. The fact that a friend can become an enemy is demonstrated by the historic nature of friendship. So when a friend drifts apart from you, don`t be sad. What you should do is to cherish the friendship that once existed between you and your friend, and be grateful to him.

Life is a bouquet, friendship is flower.
