As we grow from a child to an adult, there are many events in our lives that can change drastically and determine who or what we will become in the future. However, many of us have something in common, something desperately important something that can have a great impact on how we act, talk, and think: love and friends. Love and friendship is something very valuable to have in life because without it life would not only be dull, it would also bring grief and sadness to our souls.
One of the most significant feelings that a person can experience to be successful in life, is love. Love is an emotion that is innate to some human beings, or can be developed by time or ones experiences. For example, when you are born there is an immediate feeling of protection and affection that your parents will feel once they see you, and as time passes you will learn to love them back as well, and learn how to love others too. However there are also the types of people that overlook this sentiment, these kinds of people are not strangers to loneliness and melancholy and they live their lives filled with misery. A perfect example is a character in the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, about a man that lives in such deep depression that he finds himself raping millions of young girls to feel content and not abandoned, destroying not only his life but sadly the girls’ lives too.
Even though love is an important emotion, friendship is essential as well. Friendship can be a companionship between a related or non related person. Real friends can be a little like a source of self-steam because whenever you are feeling sad or depressed they are by your side helping you get through a complicated time. True friendship never dies no matter if great distances or extended periods of time are involved, if it’s a true friendship it will last forever. This reminds of the time I had to say goodbye to my friends in Ecuador, even though we live millions of miles apart we always keep in touch and in my recent trip to Ecuador we reunited and it felt as if we were never apart. Friends, the right ones, can improve our lives and help our future become brighter.
Love and friendship, are both two very important feelings that help us be grateful for life in every unique way by appreciating the happiness that we live everyday. Hopefully now that you have understood the meaning of love and friendship you will be thankful and grateful to have a happy life filled with love and friends.
