A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED
A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED
How true is this statement? No one truly knows. What everyone has really is a perception based on thier own logical reasoning or personal experience.
For the sake of disambiguation, I further clarify that my writing is just based on my own understanding and a freedom of thought and expression is being employed here.
A friend according to the dictionary [a book which simplifies things in general], is a person you know deeply and you treat with love and utmost affection. Simply put, someone you seriously care for and it is believed that you should be able to do anything for such a person since you are emotionally entangled with that person. Note that you should be able to correct some imperfections with your friend's actions but you don't correct to change them ,no. For even though the actions of the person is wrong, there should be a constancy with the love you feel towards that person. Indirectly speaking, a friend is someone who corrupts your thinking [either in a good way or the other way] and also a person who has the utmost ability to make you do bad things, to lead you astray.
We take a friend based on three things: normal circumstances, coincidences and maybe to fill the void in us which is only there because of the loneliness we feel.
A need basically, is something you cease to exist without. Something which you feel completes you at that moment. Something you feel will terminate your existence and diminish what you stand for. A need comes when you don't have the means to satisfy it and it cripples you.
Now, how does a friend fill the void of that need? Personally, a friend's duty to your need is to stand by you indefinitely. He or she may not necessarily help you with the need, but the physical support provided will enhance your emotional stability and raise your thinking value. Most cases, you may find the solution to your problem but sometimes, you never fill the void but you feel good having someone to share the burden with.
My final evaluation now is that the moment a person is able to provide your need in any form, help you find a solution for the problem and defends your right in a mix up, be irrational and do crazy earth-shattering things for you, that person has totally conquered the meaning of the word friend. But as a person, you shouldn't expect your friend to be able to fix everything for you. If you as a person couldn't solve it, don't forget that your friend is also flesh and bone like you.
In conclusion, do not over expect from your friend for you're also a friend from that person's point of view and definitely, your friend also has issues he or she needs a friend's support to get through.Your friend may not help you in need for there isn't a main purpose to friendship.
