Every person needs a friend - a person close to you in spirit , someone with whom to spend time wondering . Each - this is the man who will support you in sorrow and in joy , who will always try to help and advise . But all of us know how to make friends ? And in general - that is true friendship ? It so happens that two people are constantly talking, a lot of time together , but some of them might be trouble or joy, and a strong friendship is gone . About such people usually say that they do not stand the test . Some of them are scared of another trouble , did not want to intervene , worried ... And sometimes even worse - one friend began to envy the other: his successes , joys , victories ... No wonder they say that true friendship is not checked as much trouble as joy. So what is , in my opinion , a true friendship ? I think it should be checked for years. When people are friends for many years , they 've been through a lot and have been " a test of strength ." A true friend , I think you only good wishes , has struggled to help make your life better. This does not mean that he always says you only pleasant, not at all! Conversely, a true friend can say one of the few , the whole truth in the face, open your eyes to something , to show where you were wrong . After all, this is very important - to stop in time or forward in the right direction , help you understand your mistakes . A true friend will never betray , not trade you for any benefit or benefits . He can call at any time of the day and tell you everything that 's on your mind , share and get support. Of course , friendship - a concept bilateral . Two people equally should cherish their relationship , to protect them , to try to save . And then , in my opinion , friendship is really strong and durable.
