Friends

Friends are people you know and like. They can be either sex and of any age. I do not think that anyone can leave without friends. all of us need friends for various reasons.

We need friends to play and enjoy life with. Friends are also a source of comfort when we are sad. Friends will cushion us during this moment of sadness. Friends will be there to remove most of the pain.

Furthermore, friends are there to help us when we are in trouble. When we are without a job, they will try to get us one. When we are sick, they will come to visit and comfort us.

When we have no money, they will help us with some. When others talk bad about us, they will defend us. Were our houses burn down they would be the first on the scene to offer solace and help.

With friends to help us when we are in trouble, things are not so bad. As the saying goes, “Trouble shared is trouble halved.”

Friends are there not only to share our sorrows. They are there to share our joys, too.

When we are successful, they will be the first to congratulate us. When we tie the knot with someone we love, our friends will rejoice with us. When our careers or businesses take off, they will be there to show their pleasure.

With friends to share in our moments of joy, our happiness is multiplied. As the saying goes, “Joy shared is joy doubled”.

However, we should be aware of fair-weather friends. Fair weather friends are with us only when times are good. They desert us when we are down-and-out. Another type of friends we should be aware of are false friends.

After knowing everything about you, they may betray you. Keep a distance from these two types of friends.

Choose your friends with great care. After having found out who your true friends are, bind them to yourself “with hoops of steel,”

So, have you find your ” F R I E N D”?
