SAM CLUB DAY ‘16

The Real Form of Friendship

- Mishal '2k12

Now that I look down the memory lane, I find that the word ' friend ' is yet to be defined. Who is a friend? Is it
someone who gets you out of any difficulty or someone who dives right into it making it easier to traverse? Does
a friend support you in sadness or become your very reason for your happiness? Does a friend make you feel
safe or prepare you to be fearless towards any incoming danger? Is it the role of a friend to cover all your needs
or shorten your very necessi es? Should a friend force you to take a right path or let you learn from the wrong
path itself travelling alongside?

These ques ons wander all around my confused mind giving me all sorts of no ons of friendship. Some mes I
feel that tagging along with someone makes him a friend, but that's far from true - I think the next day.

Memories are forged when events are associated with strong emo ons. Emo ons surge from our heart when
events have social or personal implica ons. Friendship is something that frees you of all the social and
environmental barriers making you suscep ble to real emo ons. It makes you feel joy, sorrow, terror,
confusion, love and all other registered emo ons.

But the ques on s ll lives on. Whether a friend should stop you from pursuing trouble or let you face it
alongside with you? I hope to find an answer.
