Journey of Friendship

In our journey through the path we call life, one of its challenges is in the form of people who are around us. One could not easily determine whom to trust and depend your life with. There are a lot of passers by who are ready to reach out in times of our need but expect a reward in return. They may be offering rides but their true intentions are deceitful. They are not worthy to be called friends.

A friend from my personal perspective, is a person I consider a chum or a crony, and more like a comrade and/or companion. Friends are ought to be the ultimate companions and more like one’s extensional being. Through the good times and even the worst, friends accompany you to get by the road easily. They stay by your side until you made it to the end of your journey. As you travel down the road, you’ll always find yourself where the road branches out to many different routes. Making a decision which path to take puts to the test your judgment and questions your beliefs. The only choice you have to make is to decide which of the roads to take. Your comrade who favors and supports your decision, should also have the guts to question and doubt your decision to make you see things in a wider point of view so that you’d be able to make not exactly the right decision, but the best one t it the norms. He shows his sincerest intentions for doing so.

What makes this journey tougher is when you seem to have lost your way. And when you look around your tour guide –a.k.a. friend- is nowhere to be found. You feel lonesome and left behind. But this is just a test of your independence and individuality. A friend may be someone to lean on but he should never carry you all throughout the journey. You are and always have been an independent soul, you just had someone to share it with. A friend trusts you and your capabilities. He’s just right behind you, not far away, to help you get up just in case you fall down. With a friend near by, you are never left behind and alone.

With a friends help in finishing the race, the finale is much savored when shared with a friend. Reaching the end together with your ultimate companion, he’d share the triumph and joys, and the burden and pains as well with you. He’d still be there right after the race but at the same time leaves and gives you a moment of selfishness.

And to top it all off, I close this essay with a quotation:
“Friendship is a mutual bond between souls which doesn’t lose the bond whether close-tight or far apart.”
