Friendship Thoughts from findfriendz.com Some of the most
rewarding and beautiful moments of a friendship happen in the unforeseen open
spaces between planned activities. It is important that you allow these spaces
to exist. Christine Leefeldt It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes
the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another
at last agree.

Generally, friendship
exists for three reasons: a) virtue
b) usefulness c) pleasure.
When virtue is the
reason, friendship exists for the sake of friendship; where
both like each other and cherish each other for
some creditable values in the other’s personality. You wish to be the friend of that person for
the sheer
personality that he/she has.
It has a magic in itself. It
attracts you. And it is mutual. You know that
you would even die to swear your friendship for that
person. But you also know that the other
would
make you live than die for him/her. It is somewhat platonic in concept inasmuch
as the other may not be/
need not be all that intelligent and good looking, useful or
capable of giving pleasure.
A friendship of the
second kind is formed for the utilitarian value of it. How useful so and so is to me?
What can I benefit from him?
Can I use his car? Will he use
his reputation and influence to fetch me a
good job? Will he
lend me money in need? Thus a person may
ask and maintains relationship for
practical, professional, and political reasons. I remember the friendship I made with two
others on a
train journey from Mumbai to Chennai. It was extremely useful for killing time
during the journey.
Further, all of us had to go to the bus-stand to continue
our onward travel. Therefore we took an
autorickshaw till the bus-stand and shared the money. But then, once we boarded our buses to our
destinations, we were looking forward to meet our people at
the hometown.
Friendship is more than just being friends. It is a
connection deep within the spiritual soul that is an unearned gift of love.
