They express the same thought and concept. The concept of friendship has been understood
differently by everyone. When it comes to the concept of friendship, It is a phenomenon that begins
as long-term memories in our childhood and creates the possibility of long-term understanding and
mutual agreement. When it comes to real friendship, unlike childhood, It is a phenomenon that has
deep feelings and relationships have shared. Friendship that began in childhood is more limited
relationship in terms of responsibility. Even though, What is good at childhood is a more cheerful, In
the childish phenomenon, even a little sadness and unhappiness are reflected in people’s behaviours.

The concept of real friendship is not only between individuals, but also among the leaders of
countries that after war and peace treaty period. When we lost our real friend or experienced event
that we were happy with the events, It is a nice feeling to have a real friend that will support us in
every situation regardless of bad, happy moments. Because, Real friend is very important to people
to understand to each other.

There are many examples of real friendship in the World. For example;

Firstly, Hundreds of honey bees work in a certain harmony and coordinate are the best example of
friendship.

Secondly, When we looked at the universe, We can see in a simple way that the moon revolving
around The Earth and The Sun, The Earth around itself and around The Sun. They are planets that
connected by gravity force. Even though, They are separated from each other in terms of distance.
We can liken this gravity force with the loyalty power of friendship.

Thirdly, For centuries, People have fought each other for their land and interests. But When They
have made a joint decision, They have lived in peace and happiness.

Fourthly, Even if, The Ottoman state was the strongest state in the World, It was a time of friendship
and peace.

Fifthly, Since Turkish Soldier lived in a peace way for Ottoman soil, The Turkish Soldier had to fight in
countless the fronts with Ottoman states. Although, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was never a supporter of
war, The Allied States caused that the Ottoman Empire to went to war. Because, He saw that the war
was a murder. That is why; Ataturk has always wanted to be in peace. Together with this condition,
Ataturk stated that he was against the war by saying ‘’ Peace at the home, Peace in the World.’’

Sixthly, Real friendship is a rare gem. The best example of this is the story of our esteemed writer
Ömer Seyfettin called ‘’Kaşağı.’’ In this story, an example of a boy named Mıstık who sacrificing
himself for his friends is given. Because, Mıstık’s friends were chased by the dog. When Mıstık saw
this event, He fought with the dog to protect himself and his friends. So, Mıstık got rid of dog with
various wounds. But, Mıstık didn’t go to the doctor because of his indifference. So, He couldn’t learn
his illness about rabies. That’s why; Mıstık’s condition got worse. At the end of the illness, he dead.
This is the best example of real friendship.

As a result, Real friendship made two friends of each other like half an apple, in sad moments. At the
time of happiness, They have become more united with each other. So, Friendship and happiness are
an invisible whole. When people are offended against each other, They lose their joy and happiness
moments. After they reconcile, their lifes are back to the normal and joyful moment.
