Human beings are social creatures. Good friends play an important role in their lives. The very idea of ​​meeting a friend makes you smile. It is a type of relationship where there are no ties and you value this relationship more. Whether it’s good times or bad, having good friends around makes life so much easier and more comfortable.

To celebrate this noble sentiment, the first Sunday in August was declared a holiday in the United States in honor of friends by the United States Congress in 1935. Since then, this wonderful idea of ​​celebrating Friendship Day was accepted with joy by various other nations.

Different people celebrate this day in a different way, but the bottom line is that they all try to express love for their friends and the importance of their existence in their lives. Some people buy gifts for their friends, while others cook their favorite food, some tie friendship bands, while others go out and spend time together. Those who are absent in other cities or countries wish to do so electronically by exchanging messages or chatting online.

The friendship relationship is priceless. You can never buy or sell. The basis of true friendship is the feeling of mutual affection in the hearts of the people who participate in the friendship. Materialistic gains can never fully satisfy us unless we have genuine good friends to share our lives with.

Someone has very sincerely mentioned that the only way to have a good friend is to be one. True friendship is about knowing that someone is there when the world might leave you. Today life has become very hectic and busy. In the current scenario, friends are the most reliable source of social, intellectual and creative stimulation. The best part is that we don’t need to use words to communicate problems with our friends. Most of the time they understand by looking at our faces or listening to our voice.

You meet so many people in your life, but only a select few leave an impression on you. Only some of them do you long to meet more often. It takes years of trust and understanding to build a friendship. Good friends become the pillar of our strength. Sometimes you trust good, trusted friends more than your blood relative.

This year, Friendship Day is Sunday, August 6. On this day we should take time to thank our friends for being there for us and bringing joy to our lives.
