A very wise person once said that at the end of your life if u have atlest one true friend beside you, you are lucky. Does that mean it is so difficult to have even a single true friend?

Rashmisharma How to define true friend? someone said when you down you know true friend. Actually, most of us have a common and calm life without so many up and down. Do we need to seriously identify who is you true friend? I do not think so. Freinds share with you happiness and sadness in daily life; they never hurt you. It is enough for me.

No doubt its the bad phase of life when u actually judge the person whom u have always been calling as friend. When everything is going smooth, we feel everybody around us to be friendly and helping. Things might be be different when the circumstances take a U turn...N that hurts.

Yes true friends are hard to find but once u find a true friend you need not worry about anything he/she will be there for u at any situation, By the way i am very lucky in this because i have a group of friends for myself who are very true to me.

The classical You too Brutus? is a kind of expression Caesar left as an imprint on the psyche in this world to signify that there is after all no true friend, which probably is what the wise person also said. We are living in a completely materialistic world and every one looks for quick & short term gains and has no incentive, so to say, to stick along for long. Even if some one tries to stay a true friend all along, the distractions and disillusionment are so complex, it looks pretty difficult for any ordinary human being to commit loyalty for life. Lest I am dubbed as outright cynical, I am not denying the existence of such long term friendship but if they existed, they don't crave limelight and would perhaps be immersed in nurturing such a long lasting and true friendship.

Hello.. Yes I think it's very difficult to find a single true friend. Even during those ancient times & nowadays, finding a true real friend is very difficult. I don't know if what would be the qualities of being a true real friend because I believe that I have more people to meet, more journey, & more trials to experienced before I can say that there's really a single true friend.

Having friends doesn't mean to have numbers of them. Even me, i don't have many friends maybe because having many friends doesn't really matters. And i know that im very lucky for having them, Some friends are true and some are not but the important thing there is you have shown the real you, shared your life with them, trust them,and have proved that you are a true friend.

First of all it should be from our side,we should be a true friend and have those qualities in us,so that another person would not think that there is no true friend in this world.First truth should start from us then we can ask others .if we are true frineds to our friends then not one frined we get ,we get so many true friends around us and for us.

I don't know if I have one true friend and to be honest I don't care. I have people around me who I can turn to if I need to, even I seldom do so and even if we are not close in other ways. I think I am very lucky since I feel that way. I also think the wise person is wrong. You only need to see yourself as your own best friend, if you are able to do so, then you are lucky. Since everyone else is only extra bonus.
