True Friendship.....A Myth OR Reality

A bit too much of generalization. I would not disregard exceptions wherein warm friendship between individuals keep up cordial relationships.

I disagree. Perhaps you need more years in order to understand where I'm coming from.

The modern times carry little qualms of conscience...most people are concerned solely with fulfilling their ambitions and goals in life. Who would thus be bothered about the other/

Its you who think like this.. In modern time too i always support my friends and my friends support me in difficult times. I already said it depends on person to person.

Save that exception. You are one of those blessed kinds who could secure and keep up the warmth of sincere friendships.

That's the way of everyday existence...people disregard you when they are very busy.There would be little time to remember those fanciful moments of the past.In any case, FRIENDSHIP in its outset is just an adjustment.

Friendship and love is full of give and take. If you are giving more that the other person you are more apt to go elsewher. But if you know you will get too it makes you more apt to give and more apt to keep the relationship going.

That is really true...In order to last a relationship, we need to be the 'giver' instead just to be 'receiver' as people like to be with others who like to give rather than receive. To find oneself that will be there when we need them is very hard but I am sure they will be some out there~

My opinion is rather founded on personal experiences.I would not carry it further as one of human nature.But isn't it quite true that boundless attachments in friendships is impossible?

It is not impossible, as long as you understand that everyone has flaws, including you. I was married for almost 40 years with good and bad moments. The good momentsa were, by far, more than the others. I have several friends that I have known and loved for over 20 years. Not all of them live nearby. When I was in the middle of my chemo, I told one of them that I had to buy an extra med that was not paid by my insurance. I was angry because it costed over US$400 each time. She called me back minutes later and told me that the money for the meds had been transfered already to my Bank account. I paid them back, but if I had not had the means, they would have paid for it as it was originally a present. I have lots of stories like that. And I can tell you that I´don´t particulary "deserve" this. So it is possible for everyone. Take care!

It is really hard searching out the rare attachment of binding friendship nowadays. Friends who stand by your side in times of difficulty and disaster are the ones to be counted...not the one who gather to enjoy with you in times of mirth and joy.

[i]99% of friendships are having hidden selfish desires covered with superficial approach of having love./i] haha..hidden selfish desires...that is really true!!Feel grateful that at least there is still one percent of the true~(^^)

My belief is that true friendship in the strictest sense of the term is rare in this material world of ours. When most of us are concerned with our own gain and prosperity, little time is left for being sincere and faithful in relationships by way of friendships. Good luck.

That is some kind of relationships...it draws more attention .Take care. Good luck and thanks.

Badly enough I carry the conviction that binding relationships by way of warm friendships are remote probabilities. True friendship is in fact identity of souls...which is in turn very much rare.

I am not disregarding exceptions...an old saying purports the view that a true friend would safeguard your life with care.

Absolutely right, Who could be regarded as the one to be relied and believed upon ..

Real friendship...friendship in the strict sense of the term --- it is absolutely rare.If you have a friend who would stand by your side and console you in times of grief he is the one fit enough to be labelled a true friend.

Agreed, but it is quite hard to find nowadays. Good friendship lets you enjoy all the warmth of life.

The phenomenon is a rare one. The opportunity of getting a friend of yours in important matters is truly satisfying.

Old saying...but has little relevance in the present state of affairs.Movement is always on your own..none comes to help you out of deep trouble.

False friends behave in posy attitudes wherein you will fall an easy prey...Real friends stand with you both in times of laughter and extreme grief.

True friendship is in fact an identity of souls,rarely to be found in this world.Take care.

No disagreement over the possibility of firm binding friendly relations...but they are quite rare and hard to find in the present scenario. Where could firm friendships sprout and grow up in an atmosphere of greed and craze for competitive gains.
