We are Friends!

It was a long due. I, of course, don't pay much attention every time I receive an email/SMS related to friendship but the times I do, I realize that I don't stand good on few of the benchmarks to be a friend to anyone and neither do any of my friends do. Well, even I would forward the same email/SMS to others but that is different part of story. :)

So, to summarize the various requirements of friendship I have come across:-
A) Friends are supposed to share their secrets.
B) Friends are supposed to be available for each other in their good and bad times.
and a lot more such requirements..

In today's world, you can't really trust a person for your secrets howsoever close you may be. I don't feel like sharing few of my secrets with anyone. And I don't see any point in that being a need for friendship.
And as far as being available for each other is concerned, it depends on the priorities at the moment. I will rather expect my friend to understand that. Of course, even I won't be expecting that from all of my friends.

To me, a friend is a person, with whom you can talk about various things of your life frankly. You should feel good in talking with him. There has to be a sense of respect in friendship; respect for the emotions and thoughts of each other. Differences are bound to be there among the human-beings but the better part is that you always have something to learn from every other person. Friendship should aim in development of everyone, it should be a learning experience. And the very important part is there should not be any lies in friendship whatever the circumstances be. One has to rely on the belief-factor of friendship. No need to mention, there is always enough room for the fun with friends.

Well, now, I do feel that I have few friends and yeah, I am always looking for more. Wanna be my friend??
