প্রকৃত বন্ধুত্ব কখনো হারায় না, বেঁচে থাকে হৃদয়ে
Friendship is a necessary aspect of every humas life, as we are not self sufficient in and of ourselves. Friendship is a word which stands to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more humans. It is an in-depth and cordial relation involving mutual knowledge, esteem and affection. It is a strong bond of mind that requires meeting the needs of both friends. Friendship is a gift of enormous value providing intimacy, trust and affection. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviours. Friends can be described as: 'an intimate associate, reliable, one who is not an enemy or foe, an ally, etc'. Thus, based upon the definition of a friend, we can assert that friends should not betray one another, regardless of the circumstance. This is true, if and only if, it is in the best interest of the friend. Building friendship takes time. Friendship should be established on the basis of similar tastes, feelings and ideology. It should be grown out of sincere love and respect for each other. Talking and listening build friendships. It requires equality and loyalty from friends. In making friendship we should be very careful. We must keep aloof from false friends as they lead us to hell. These types of friends, known as fair weather friends, come to us in our better days and leave us in distress. Sometimes it may be easy to make friendship but it is difficult to maintain it. Maintenance of friendship is very important. Trust is an issue that every platonic friendship must deal with. Whether dealing with matters of trust is active or passive, its power is still a prevalent and pertinent quality that is mutually understood. Trust is an unwritten rule between friends and is defined as the “firm belief or confidence in the honesty, integrity, reliability, justice, etc of another person.'One friend should come forward and stand by in another's weal and woe. Friends must be flexible. Conflict must be resolved for friendship to continue. Friendships, in some cases, do end. Despite its necessity, in some cases we are either forced or morally required to end these relationships. When the trust between two parties has been broken, the loyalty of the friendship is soiled, and it is therefore a true and just action to end the friendship. Loss of friendship is really painful. Friendship must have limits. We should set limits so that it does not end ever, because good friends make us happy.
