Friendship


            
             There are several definitions of friendship. A friend is a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. A friend is one who supports and sympathizes with, a person whom one knows. I however, have a different definition of friendship than the dictionary. A friend is someone who is there for you, someone who knows you better than you know yourself sometimes, a friend is someone who would go to any length for you. Honesty, companionship, and loyalty are also components that configure a true friend. .
             First, honesty includes both persons remaining truthful, sincere, and frank to one another. If there is not a trust between two persons than it is impossible to maintain a friendship. For example, my so called "best friend" in high school was in love with my boyfriend. She would never tell me her true feelings, even though I asked her before we started dating how she felt, she lied to me which in turn led to a dispute. Although, this example may be irrelevant to others, my friends" inability to be honest with me led to the destruction of our friendship.
             Companion, a person who accompanies or associates with another. Having a friendly companion in life is a necessity in living a full life. Albert Camus once said, "Do not walk in front of me I may not follow, do not walk behind me I may not lead, walk beside me and be my friend." Having a companion is so important for ones self-esteem, confidence and sense of self worth. For instance, many people live through life feeling alone, not knowing that everyone has someone that is thinking about them. A friend or companion is one who makes you laugh until you can't stop; one who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. A friend convinces you that there is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open. When you are down, and the world seems dark and empty your friend lifts you up in spirits and makes the dark and empty world suddenly bright and full.
