Friendship is Costly !

The other day my son and another boy had a confusion over a pen. Both had similar looking ones and hence both said

“It is mine”

Finally the other boy allowed my son to have the pen (which actually belonged to my son) and said:

“Ok, you take it..Friendship is more costly than a pen…”

I liked that. May be he read that somewhere. Or if it came from that small kid, he will become a great philosopher or teacher in future (at least mentally). I don’t want to look for the other possibilities. Whatever be it, what he said is right.

Friendship is costly than many material things around us. The company of a true friend is incomparable. Sometimes it’s beyond reason and it always is beyond season. In a true friendship, there is:

Love
Compassion
Care
Compromise
Beauty
Understanding
Affection
Service
Loyalty
Sharing
Trust
Sympathy
Empathy
Honesty…….

It is not wise to be pragmatic and stick to the typical definition of a friendship (“co-operative and supportive behavior between two beings”).

Friendship is a precious and priceless gift from God..
