The entire world is celebrating Friendship Day today i.e. August 4, 2024. It underscores the commitment to stay together and help each other during adversities. In the context of friendship, staying together may not necessarily mean meeting each other daily. Something not possible too for most in today’s fast-paced life with no room for hangouts unlike in the 1990s when people used to meet often. The true meaning of friendship lies in staying connected through hearts. A telephonic conversation, be it through voice or video, for even five minutes speaks volumes of the strength of one’s friendship.
Significance of Friendship Day
Friendship Day is about celebrating the glorious moments friends witness despite the potential highs and lows in their equation over time. Varying times test their friendship. But true friends weather the tough times together, inspiring others to follow suit. Friends are like a gardener strengthening the roots of friendship each day through care, compassion and support.
What Classifies One as Your BEST Friend?
Numerous factors establish the strength of friendship. Here we have listed out some.
The Feeling You Get with Your Friend
In today’s world where everything is commercial, true friendship doesn’t seem prominent! Many people would be your friends for your money, social status and any other special privilege you may have. However, as destiny plays its own game, many of these sidestep you the moment you witness a turmoil in your life, personally or professionally. The one that stands by you at that time is the one to rely upon. You should also help him with a pat on the back or by encouraging words, if not financially. Little things go a long way in establishing the true essence of Friendship Day which the world celebrates every year on August 4.
Criticise You for Your Wrongdoings
There’s a tendency to hear only appreciative words. However, one should also leave room for constructive criticism. The best friend would always criticise and caution you against your possible wrongdoings. Don’t mind even if you hear a few nasty words from the concerned individual. Because ultimately, this friend of yours thinks about your larger interest.
The Extent of Openness Forms the Essence of Friendship Day
With friends, we share everything that we may not do with our family. However, even among friends, there can be some who may hide things just to carry the friendship for profitable means. That hide may not last long as varying times will expose the fragilities of friendship one day. However, it’s important to figure it out soon to avoid potential problems later. If you are sharing everything, the other person should also do that. Then only the friendship will flourish and last. Hope friends live up to this important component of Friendship Day.
