The Golden years of Life - Existence of Friends

I was right when I felt that God has sent someone on whom I can rest my sorrow and happiness. “Hey, would you be my friend?” are those golden words that hardly anyone asks with its actual sense. When my friend said that she became the assistant sports secretary, I honestly felt I was fortunate. When my friend said that she got her first article published in fun times, I forgot my extremity of happiness. When my friend claimed that her physics exam went terrible, I was worried and when my friend was embarrassed I felt like breaking through the walls.This is not any dialogue from movie or series but how I felt at that moment. Hubbard was right when he said, “your friend is the one who knows everything about you, and still likes you”.
When a person looses something or someone with hatred, he can never regain it back and if someone doesn’t believe this fact they can think about this when they experience such circumstances.
What most of us face in today’s world is the depopulation of a good people who show us the way and walks a piece of the road with us. Maybe we can change the defect by changing ourselves, by providing a little time from our chaotic schedule for our friends. The only way to have a friend is to be one. That is what I did and I found my treasure.
This is what happened at the first day of my new school. I enter this class and look at the strange atmosphere. When I went and sat at my chair the voice of my friends echoed in my ears. This is what they said, “though you leave the school we, won’t leave you” and they have kept their terms till this moment and they will. And when I spent 2 years of my life in the new school without any true friend which is the worst solitude, there was someone to light my life.
The problems that most of the adolescence face, is they lack the intelligence to take the correct decision. Why would you choose a person for their looks or for their popularity? Is it because you too want to be one of them? That means you are insecure about yourself. A person may appear like a geek and blare about but there might be someone else inside. For that it is not necessary to go about trying out hundreds but be smart in what you try. I feel I am wealthy regarding my friends.
I would also like to turn to the psychological changes that a friend can cause. If you really think that you possess positive thoughts than we can begin as such. Sometimes some teenagers depend more on what their friends say compared to their parents and this is true. So it is always wise to choose someone correct. It is also true that we would like to ape our friends and their cool styles which may at times look foolish on us. Their thoughts may impinge on us and periodically we might fall in to a drench without realizing. But this is always in the unconscious state of humans. So the best and simple solution is to think before doing anything and guide him/her in the right trail.
I remember sending a letter to my friend asking her to be my friend before our AISS (X) Examination. She calls me that day and says that she was also waiting for this day. I was irrepressible to hear because that meant, “Yes”. That was too formal but difficult.
I can give an example of my school life. When we used to have tests in the sense class tests we follow a method called division of labor. We allocate certain topics to each other so that we share our answers during the tests. You see sharing and caring. This shows our union but honestly that never works out. Seriously! The teachers always begin the test saying, “God is watching you and be honest”.
We share whatever happens in the weekends and holidays so that we know more of each other and our problems. And when we are upset we have a hilarious friend who makes us laugh. When the subject in class turns out to be boring we try making things funny.
Another interesting thing that happened was in this summer vacation I got an opportunity to send a letter from one state to another to my friend back in Bombay. That made me feel grownup and proud as in today’s world letters are nowhere to be heard and people don’t earn much in post office businesses.
There is this friend who tries putting some brain into me when I’m out and she is all amazed by the amazing facts which she would share with me when I call her. She is all crazy about the scientific experiments and I have Albert Einstein II with me. I have another friend who teaches me about the religious aspects and yeah she is not a scholar but she corrects when we go off target and pick us up when we fall.
Our aphorism is to live together peacefully and take pleasure in every moment with each other. And though we get separated after a year we promised to keep in contact. I believe that when we meet after finishing our higher courses we will be able to recognize each other because that might turn out to be little intricate. I enjoy every second of my life let it be with my parents or brothers or friends. I love it.
So let us take every mistake of our friends in a positive manner and forgive them because life is too short to be serious every time.
A second ago I had my friend calling me and asking what is the plan for next Thursday. All I said was, “I’m coming with you for the seminar next Thursday”. And yeah I called up my other friends to make sure they plan the same thing as I did.
This is my life with my friends and I owe you guys a lot for making everyday a bright one for me. I think “thanks” won’t do much. Huda, Rose, Asma, Fakeha, Areej and Hanna. May God bless you and keep us always together.
