To have a true friend is the greatest comfort in the world. Even if you lose all your money, your friend will remain with you. Your friend will support you when you need it most. He/she will do it without your asking for it. Because that is friendship. When we are born, our greatest friend is our mother. She takes care of us under all circumstances and protects us at times by giving away her life. Friendship is like that.

as we grow older, we begin making friends. With some of them we have disputes. With others we are dissatisfied. With very few, we remain friends for life. With that kind of friend, we are assured of help whenever we need it. We also have to be prepared to do that. Friendship is not a one way street. It demands commitment from both the friends. But the fruits of friendship are very sweet and the fruit drops from the tree only when we are most hungry.
