Paragraph On A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
It is necessary for a man to
distinguish between friends who are true and who are not. Man needs friends to
exchange his views and thoughts, hopes and desires, sorrows, and joys. So he
mixes with others. But the persons with whom he develops intimacy and shares feelings are not always real friends. When he has wealth and power; many
people gather around him to praise and flatter him. They are quite anxious for
pleasing him. They do all these things with the motive of satisfying their
self-interest. Man also thinks them to be real friends and help them. But
whenever these days of prosperity are gone and he is in trouble, they desert
him altogether. These fair-weather friends leave him alone. They no more stand
by him in his evil days. They cannot be true friends, because true friends are
those who are with him through thick and thin and becomes helpful in need. The test
of real friends comes only in sorrow.
