"A friend is one soul abiding in two bodies."
— Aristotle.
Hello Hive Learners! Welcome to my blog. Man is a social animal. He can't live alone. He always needed someone to make life enjoyable. When many people lived together at a place, they formed one Society. In a Society, a man makes different relationships with people. The most precious and the most sensitive relationship is Friendship. It connected two people emotionally on the bases of Trust.
Trust Problem
During my University Life, I have made interactions with many people. I have friendly nature and hence people take it easy to talk with me at any topic. In 2020 when I was in 6th semester, I found my one of the class fellow panicked and crying. I asked him reason behind it. First he denied and pretended to be fine but when I emphasized and showed my sympathy, he was able to share his worry. He informed me that his father was sick and he didn't have any means to pay his University fee. It was shocking condition for me as well. Anyway, I promised him to help provided that he would not share about it to anyone.
At due date, I silently paid his University Fee and gave him Fee Slip. He was happy from this behavior. After this good deed, I always had a soft corner in my heart for him. Everytime when He needed something he asked me for help. I was always ready to help him. Within short time, we became good friends. He shifted into my hostel room. Being Roomate, now I had enough time to know about him. When I went near to him then I came to realize about him many things. Yes, he was a deceiver. He was playing emotionally with me. I was not the only man in his net. He had made similar relationship with so many people. He built friendship with them on the basis of Sympathy then he manipulated this relationship. Even he was deceiving to his parents. He took University Fee from them and consumed this amount in luxurious activities. I was panicked from his these tricks and decided to expose him. I contacted his parents silently and requested them to visit our Hostel. At the same time, I also called to all those people who had helped him. When his parents and helping people came into our hostel then I called my cunning friend to come at hostel as soon as possible. When He stepped into the hostel, he was surprised to see his parents as well as other people who were helping him with money and he was taking advantage of their sympathy. Now I asked about the sick drama from my cunning friend. He was totally ashamed. He didn't speak anything. His parents scolded him and returned all the money their son had taken on the name of sympathy. After exposing him, I broke my friendship and changed my room. His parents were providing him full university fee but he had made a bad habit of taking charity from people. Although, it was hard to terminate this habit but I made a good try for him. Later, I didn't find any case regarding him. After this incident, I concluded that it is better to keep myself alone instead of rigging from cunning people on the name of friendship.
Friendship Limitations
After above incident, I didn't feel comfortable in making friends. I don't want to hurt my feelings at the end. Although all people are not equal but some people leave bad impression about this relationship in our mind. Many times, I did my best to make new friends but I was helpless at the end. I like to spend my time alone. Although, I have two friends from my childhood but they are enough for this relationship. Till now, I didn't have added anyone new to whom I consider for friendship. Someone had hurt my trust and It was last time for me. I got lesson and now I don't like to build trust on the people on the name of friendship.
Conclusion
Friendship is the sacred relationship. It is easy to name someone friend but it is hard to run this relationship. It needs our trust, our help in difficult time and respect in Public. There are few people who can understand the true spirits of friendship but it is hard to find true friends in Practical Life. People take advantage from us on the basis of friendship and leave us alone when they have finished their campaign. Hence, I consider to keep myself alone from these people. I hope, you will not mind my thinking but I shared a hard reality about friendship here.
