Friendship means being friendly to each other or making friends with one another. Human beings are social animals. They do not live in isolation¹.They need each other both physically² and emotionally.

However, some people distort friendship by forming small groups that are harmful to others, or even to the whole community. In university some students from the same city or province form an association to help each other. But such associations often exclude students from other parts of the country, and thus do not promote friendship in a broad sense.

True and lasting³ friendship is based on a more solid foundation. Real friends share the same ideals. While marching toward their common objective, they help each other. If one makes a mistake, his friend will not hesitate to point it out for him, because he knows the frank criticism will help him. What we need is this type of genuine friendship.
