a friend in need is a friend indeed

In todays selfish world, finding a good friend is really difficult. Friend comes and goes, but real friend hardly comes in life. People are there to make friendship when we are in a sound condition, but immediately they hide themselves by seeing our worse condition. I never keep friendship with them. Just hi! , hello is ok for them. Still searching a good friend although I am in a very very established person in my life.

yes, i believe we have to be friends first with the one whom we will marry. this is a part of love. the song goes "how can we be lovers when we can't be friends" that is the truth.

I think that a true friend will always be there for you no matter what happens and what might be going wrong in your life at that time. If you're going though a hard time during the course of your life, then you should be able to rest easily in the knowledge that your friends are going to be there for you no matter what. If they're not true friends then they might complain about you being the centre of attention at that time, but in a friendship the attention changes depending on who needs it at the time, and this is the way that it should be.

I believe that in true love there must be friendship and acceptance. Both are love, but in love of a spouse there are other ingredients also. But respect and being there for the other belong to both kinds of love.

We all need people in our life once in a while to help us out or listen to us. But if we really need that true friend for it I doubt. My experiences are that even complete strangers are willing to help you out or advice you. These people I still remember, even I met them years ago and we don't have contact anymore. I think nowadays we are way too demanding if it comes to that true friend. People are not different from years ago. No better or worser friends. Our own situation changed, more social help, all kinds of help, we are not that depending anymore on each other. It depends on your love if you can trust him/her. They can be demanding or manipulating but so are (best) friends. Personally I don't need a best friend who always agrees or understands me. I would go for the one that is honest and say the truth no matter what. A lover/love partner is different from being a best friend, if you really love your best friend I doubt also.
