So, friendship is a sacred relationship where there is no selfishness. Man can not live without friends.

In our society, there are many types of friends. Some friends are summer friends, some are in danger and some are temporary. 

Among these friends who stay with us in danger are called real friends. They love truly each other from the core of their heart. They can do anything for their friends. They try heart and soul to keep their relationship sacred. In our society, there are very few numbers of friends like this. We respect them very much.

On the other hand, there are many summer friends everywhere. They are very selfish. They come into contact with us in good time. They come to eat honey to us. When the honey finishes they are not seen on the screen more. Then, their original appearance is come out to our faces before. They can not build pure relationships with others. They only want to get something from others. This is why they make friends with others. But their friendship does not last forever.

Friendship is sacred. So we should not make dirty it. We should always keep it above our selfishness. A good friend is a valuable asset to one's life. So, we should be aware of our friendship.
