Let’s Call For A Change

Parth Goyal, Class VIII B

What is friendship? Is it just making friends or being with them till they are there in touch with us? I feel that is not friendship. Friendship is a bond that never breaks.
One thing I don’t understand is – What is the difference between a ‘best friend’ and a friend? Are ‘friends’ in any way less than best friends? We all have been together in all situations and found the solution as a team. I am a person who has experienced both, the time when I had no friends and the time when everyone in my class is my friend. Why such discrimination then?
One day, I questioned some of my friends about their idea of friendship. Some of them said, friends are the ones with whom they play, some of them said, friends are the ones they can talk to and have fun but none of them said that friends are the ones with whom they can share their deepest feelings!
I have another concern, are we living in a world where a person can be friendly only to a person of his/her gender because I’ve seen people behaving in an unfriendly manner when it comes to the opposite gender.
This happens even with me at times. I feel that we can be friends with both boys and girls. Friendship knows no bounds, and it doesn’t depend on gender, caste, creed or religion. Friendship is not about being partners in crime, it is more about learning and growing together.

 

So, let’s call for a change and take the decision that our friendship wouldn’t depend on gender, caste, creed or religion; that we will learn and grow together; that we will do something better. There are things beyond mischief, a world of knowledge, love and trust. Let’s not discriminate. The definition of a friend on Google is absolutely correct, that is – a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. Let’s be friends!
