Poet Rabindranath Tagore said, like a rose is a special kind of flower, a friend is a special kind of person. The world's most famous writers, poets, researchers, philosophers, scientists have made various statements about friendships and friendships. Made songs, poems or movies. In real life there are many examples of giving evidence of real friendship or harming the opportunity of friendship. True friends are needed in every human life. The great philosopher Aristotle says that the unfortunate are those who do not have real friends. Again he says, friend is two bodies of one soul. Every new thing seems great, but the older the friendship, the better. These comments mean the importance of the need for a relationship called friend. But it must be real friendship. In fact, despite having parents, siblings in the family, at least one friend is very important in life. What can't be expressed to everyone else can be said effortlessly to a friend. Such a friend is a greater relative than an absolute relative.
But today, knowing friends is the most difficult task. We have known the story of 'Two Friends and the Bear' since childhood. Where one friend leaves another friend and climbs a tree in search of survival. Although another friend survived by the force of instant intelligence. But the gist of this story is that the friend who leaves you in times of danger is not the real friend. It is better to leave his company. There are also many stories of examples of friendship fidelity, where a friend did not abandon a friend even in times of extreme danger. One such story is that during a fierce battle with an opponent, a soldier was shot while fighting alone. A friend who was a little farther away asked him for permission to go to his friend who had been shot. When the commander warns him of the danger of going there, the friend goes to the friend who was shot in the face of danger without thinking about it. He later returned with his friend's body. Seeing that, the commander said, ‘Your friend is dead, what did you get at the risk of your life?’ The friend replied, ‘I heard my friend’s last words. ‘What was that last word?’, The commander asked. "He saw me and said, 'I knew you would come to me.'
