Beyond a doubt, we must know and remember that true friends can and
will improve our lives. A friend is usually someone you are not related
to by either birth, marriage or from any legal ties that bind you.
Normally, a friend may be a casual, close, best, realist, nurturer,
motivator or
model friend, for example, and may even be a nurturing and best friend
as well. Whatever kind or category of friend someone has, if the person
is a true friend, then there are some distinctive good reasons why real
friends are important.
Real friends can be a source of
self-esteem, affection, and good times. In times of despair, for
example, true friends will offer hope. The right friends can help
someone feel worthwhile. Real friends are even known to significantly
assist a friend get elected a class or student president, and even the
President of a country. Some of us will remember that school, work,

life are better and more fun when shared with friends. But for the
friendship to be real, some factors are necessary and must be present
in true friendship. Some of the factors are honesty, faithfulness,
similar religion and culture, loyalty, being a good listener, love,
having ideas in common, and to a lesser extent, age and intelligence.
Now these are all characteristics that can be acquired and practiced in
a very sincere manner to enhance a current friendship-relation and also
to gain additional friends.
But there are other reasons why real
friends are essential. Friends are important to even happy people or
married couples. Friendship affirms and validates in a more distinctive
way than even the positive romantic or blood tie. We must be very aware
that real friendship is vital throughout life. But you can quickly
discover real and good friends when you are down or when you require
their assistance the most. Why? Because a real friend will not desert
you when you are down, and will not turn against you in jealousy, for
example, when you succeed.
