Old Memories, New Smiles: The Joy of Friendship

I believe that friendship is the most beautiful gift given by God. You are very fortunate if you have good friends in your life.

In today’s digital age, having good friends is even more important because loneliness is increasing rapidly. People now rely on social media to escape their loneliness, but it does not really remove it. They just forget about it as long as they are spending time on social media, and the moment they step away from their mobile screen and face reality, loneliness surrounds them again. In such times, having good friends becomes essential.

In such a situation, having good friends becomes essential. Sometimes, you may be deeply troubled by something, and by chance, you are at home thinking about it. Suddenly, there is a knock at your door. You get up from your sofa, open the door, and see your childhood friends have come to meet you. You are both surprised and happy. They come in, and then it begins — reliving old memories: the fun in class, bike races, flying paper planes in class, the teacher’s punishments, and many other things. Suddenly, your stress disappears. You genuinely feel light and happy, and in the process, you realize that the problem that was troubling you is not significant enough to have caused so much worry.

This is the power of friendship. So, in your busy life, take some time to talk to your friends, and if possible, go out with them. If your friends are not calling or messaging you, then you make the effort — who knows, they might be going through something too. Make good friends, be a good friend, and open up your isolated life so that happiness gets a chance to enter it. Stay happy yourself, and keep others happy too.
