Walking down the path, little “Johny” reached the end of the land. Standing there he could see only water all around. He was panic-stricken thinking what to do now and where to go from here? As he was looking around, he saw a big vessel standing on the shore. He felt happy and walked towards it hoping for some help. As he was boarding the vessel, he noticed the name “Amitié” written on it and some words beneath it shining in silver:
“When a person can find Sorrow behind ur sMile
Words behind ur siLence and Love behind ur aNger,
U can believe U’ve found U R BEST buddy!!!”
He was amazed and stepped inside. To his surprise, he found his best friend waiting for him to sail in those troubled waters. This was a great relief for Johny and they sailed over happily.
Amitié means Friendship. This friendship gives us one of the most precious gifts of our life, “Friends”. It holds people together no matter how different they are. It gives us a shoulder to lean, share our thoughts, have silly fights-arguments and have loads of fun. Overall it gives us a new world of happiness. But it has one strange behavior. It gives back only those things that are given to it. So, spend sometime with your friends and know wat's up with them, accept them as they are and let them know that you are there for them as they are for you.
We are born alone and will die alone but in between we make lot of relationships. Any relation that is based on friendship will be strong and ever lasting. Because money can separate families, divorce can separate couple but if best friends are to be separated, death is the only option and I believe this truly and completely.
All said and done, why is this one day, "friendship day" when we need to care for them 24X7? Hmm…I think it is a good idea as we get an opportunity to pamper our best buddy with gifts, party and yummy chocolates.
Wishing you all a very “Happy Friendship Day”. I hope you all had good time with your friends on this friendship day.
