Friendship is a term used to indicate co-operative and supportive behavior between two or
more humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this
sense, the term expresses a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem and affection.
Friends will welcome each other’s company and show loyalty towards each other. Their tastes will
usually be similar and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping
behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may
often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviours.

Yet, for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm
them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent
basis: the tendency to desire what is best for the other, sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps
in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing
out the perceived faults of one's counterpart mutual understanding.

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association,

although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. The study of

friendship have been proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity

Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor
Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start. Each day Hachiko would
accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left
for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for him.
Sadly, the professor died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.
Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very strong and
he continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a time,
though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street vendors. He

or powerful. It is better to have one or two goods friends rather than having hundreds of insincere
ones.

A true friend will stand by us in our trials and tribulations. He will be a great source of consolation
and comfort in our troubles. So we must be careful in choosing our friends. It is difficult to choose
