Definition of Friendship

              The word« friendship» has many definitions, but all the definitions have the same meaning. According to the Dictionnary.com the word friendship means « having a relation between people who like each other and enjoy each other’s company ». I partially agree with this definition, but it is incomplete. Friendship is not a simple relation between people; friendship is a strong relation between individuals based on understanding, helping, trusting, and sharing with the other. For instance, if you have experienced a successful friendship without problems, you will define the word friendship as sharing the best and the worst. Also, you will say that it is the feeling of being surrounded by people who understand you without judging you. A famous quote says that walking with a friend in the darkness is better than walking alone in the light. This quote describes the important part of a friendship. For instance, if your friend is facing a hard period, it is your job to support him. The feeling of being able to live in the same hard situation in the darkness with your friend is essential for your well-being rather than being alone. This is the true meaning of friendship for me. Another important part of the definition of friendship is that it is based on trust. Trust is the thing that connects friends. If your friend shares with you a secret, it means that he trusts you and considers you as his friend. In summary, I believe that friendship should respect these three values in order to be defined correctly. Trust, sharing the best and the worst, and understanding the other more than just liking each other.
