The world believes in common struggle and also in common brotherhood, with each passage of time humanity and man himself has found strength in the unique definition of true friendship.
Let alone, nothing great so far had been accomplished without lasting impact of true sense of brotherhood. We all are individuals, born separately in India, Afghanistan or London, anywhere else. But what connects all, is the mere fact of belonging to the human race.
We are reminded of the powerful poetic rhyme of Coleridge, as he informs “friendship is a sheltering tree”, and like a plant that nourishes our deep thoughts and togetherness. The sharing of your time requires devotion and it leads the path to a new wave of identities. Some hold a different view, that man’s best friend is his pet. Pets like animals can become the real driving force for friendship.
The famous friendship of politicians, to the common man, opens the shared world-view and aspects of moving together. Be it the present bonding of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, President John F. Kennedy and his brother Attorney Robert F. Kennedy or anyone really cements the union and spirit of conquest. Such extraordinary friendship is rare and truly amplified to meet the rise to glory and horizon.
But in a more tactful manner, in this nuclear world, your enemy ‘s enemy is like a friend to one’s own. As history reminds u.s with stories of betrayal of Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi sycophant who tried against Hitler. With a sense of love, care and mutual cooperation, a friendship is not an end, but it is the true commencement of many great happenings.
