One of the greatest discoveries of our lives, if not the greatest, is the friendship value. Good friends are as reliable as parents and siblings, but unlike the blood bond, the union is formed from empathy. How good it is to be able to talk to someone who understands us and who likes us for who we are. After all, let's admit it, most likely many brothers wouldn't be friends if they hadn't been raised by the same family and had to live under the same roof.
All this closeness does not mean that disagreements do not happen, quite the opposite. If we argue with parents and siblings, it is very likely that our friends will not go unpunished by our own genius. Friendships should always be guided by sincerity, therefore, it is natural that true words are exchanged between friends, but that do not always end up being well accepted and intrigue can be generated. The important thing is that peace is made as soon as possible and that everything gets right.
As the years go by, perhaps because of the heat of life and our lack of time, it becomes increasingly difficult to make new friends. The work environment is not the same as at school, so much so that a name was created for these “friends”: co-workers. At the same time, getting in and out of the house is so fast and our time on the internet has increased so much that we tend to know more people on the other side of the world than our own neighbors.
Friends must be preserved above all else. As important as blood ties are, feelings of love for others are something that goes beyond our material existence. While true friends are present at all times, we also need to develop a close relationship whenever possible. When was the last time you went out with your friend? Do not hesitate to pick up the phone, chat and vent about problems, but also invite him to your house for lunch. Friends are always close, in good times and in bad.
