“Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest... It's about who came and never left your side...”- Unknown
Finding a friend isn’t a tough job. At toddler level, humans enjoy friendship with everyone surrounding them. Until a certain age, the mother will always be the child’s best friend. As they grow up, it might be the pets or the neighboring kids who get into that friendship circle.
More and more friends come into that circle at each stage of life until their death. So, humans form friends with those people who are similar in behavior or character, or money or wealth, etc. So a basic rule in understanding people and dating is to see their circle of friends. There is surely a common behavior among them, and the particular person’s behavior will not stray much from that group behavior.
In your life, you might be surrounded by many friends, but to find your best friend is rare. Unlike the other friends, best friends do not come easily. And it is not decided on a whim. It takes a certain level of friendship or when you face certain extenuating circumstances, voila, the ‘litmus test’ of a best friend is done! Very few people will stand beside you, and that one or few persons are surely your best friends forever.
It is only with that person you will be able to share anything and everything. It is on that shoulder we can lay our heads and shed tears without shame or guilt. You don’t need a mirror if you have such a valuable friend, for he/she will undoubtedly tell you without any fear or doubts, your faults.
So, we all have friends but to be having a best friend? You are indeed blessed.
