Friendship
Written by Larisa Sharapova, 10a
Friendship… Friendship is the work of two or more people who are dear to one another. Work isn’t in the literal sense of the meaning, work implies somebody putting a part of themselves, a part of their heart, work for trust, understanding…
Friendship can be seen from two sides. On the one hand, some people consider friendship something that isn’t really there. If you just laugh, have fun in your free time, chat nicely… but don’t share any feeling or problems with each other than this isn’t friendship, it’s just communication, and you are not friends, but just comrades (or good acquaintances) who have a good time. Friendship can also be checked by “a fair weather friendship”. This means that if you have problems or you feel that your psychological state is in trouble, you want to share it with your close person (best friend), and he or she doesn’t want to listen to you, then make the conclusion, this isn’t your friend. For example, I can call very few people friends, because not everyone can listen and understand what’s in your soul, why you have tears in your eyes, what’s wrong with you ... Even if you can tell someone, not everyone can understand you.
We must understand and accept that there is always one person who does more listening, or who needs more support, or who does things that annoy the other person. Expecting perfection in a relationship is always going to end in disappointment. So we shouldn’t demand of others something that we can’t do ourselves. Therefore, it is important to understand and accept the world the way it is, and there is nothing you can do about it. And I have the best and closest friend - this is my mom, because in this world there is no one closer than her.
In my opinion true friendship can be at any age. But it is worth noting that as you get older you share with your friend only what you think is necessary, do not tell everything in a row, think more carefully what can be said and what not. I wanted to say that children are more open to each other than adults, so they worry when they quarrel or do not communicate with the best friend.
