Friendship by nature is for a good purpose. The main purpose of friendship is to provide companionship and support. Observing it in children and adults alike, you could tell that no one forms friendship for their destruction rather for progress. Everyone expects the best from a colleague and do same in return to maintain social acceptance and dignity. Friendship is indeed a stellar relationship which everyone has.
It is then weird to hear one saying that “I have a bad friend” or there are good friends and bad friends. I do not want to mean that you will never come across unfriendly people in life – people who will use you and seek your down fall. But such people are not friends, whom you will call bad friends.
The message I want to pass across is that the word friend does not have bad as an adjective. Looking at the definition and facts shown in Friendship Part I, friendship can never be tagged bad.
A person in your company who
causes and promotes evil is not a friend, therefore do not refer to that person
as bad friend. Just that all this while you were not making moves with the
right person.
A friend is not an acquaintance. Know that not all your associates or acquaintance are friends. Your acquaintance are people who admire you and love to be part of you for whatever reason, be it popularity or the benefits they derive from you. They can grow tired of you with time.
It can sometimes also be people you have temporal or short contact with. An acquaintance will rarely provide help in moment of crisis but a friend will do.
Friendship is a different
relation all together. Friends are concerned about each other. They do their
best to be there for one another. Friends provide support in time of need. They
at least contribute to the life of each other.
Studying the story of highly successful and influential people, one secret about them is, none of them got to where they are without network and friendship.
Their success is chiefly because of vision and goals they had in life yet friendship and team were materials that contributed to the design. The google search engine which has revolutionized the world came from the friendship of Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Friendship is as important and necessary as anything we have on earth. The person who become conscious of this relationship and takes advantage of it goes far in life.
Unity in vision is more
important than unity in love. It’s ideal to have the same vision in
life than to be in love.
When friends form a company without vision, their individual vision and pursuit in life will tire their love and bond apart. Unity in vision sends friends far than only loving each other and admiring the company.
It's advisable for every friend relation to put hands on desk and develop a common denominator (vision) that will keep their union. Without an assignment or having a work in common, no friendship is guaranteed forever. Normally, everyone is busy with responsibilities of life and carried away by what has been installed in them.
Therefore, we only maintain long term friendship with people who are tolling the same path as we are and for you to be in company with people who are not in your field of operation, then there must be something that always bring you together.
This can be a society both of you find yourselves, an organization, charity champaign that you are running together, place of common faith or doing a project to benefit your community.
Growing and staying together with people require a common dominator. A healthy
friendship will require a vision than love alone.
