The Beauty of Friendship
Came across an explanation on friendship.. so thought to share it..
Acquaintance, friend, lover, partner, soulmate. The pattern of human contact that is so vitally important to our being. Emotionally, we not only need to feel connected .. we desire it. But what is a connection? How does it happen?
A *friendship* stems from a successful acquaintance. It is the next step. The connection. Once a friendship is made, the dynamics change. We are excited to open up and share experiences of our lives, and it is then that we have the opportunity to ~learn~ from our new friend's experiences. It is fun to share. But it is imperative to listen. If we are receptive enough, we come across many opportunities for friendships. Look at each person you consider a "friend" and imagine what you have met him/her for. What have they taught you? What can they teach you, if you allow them? The saying "I am only human" .. fits well here. We are all human, on the same level .. going through the same perils, yet why do we still feel the need to compete? Isn't it much easier to help one another? Isn't it more fulfilling?
Let us not find ourselves insecure. Each and every time we come across a challenge, something that pushes us into that *jump into defense mode* wagon .. take a moment to think that maybe, just maybe .. you are being given a gift. If you learn this lesson, you may not have to go through it again. So priceless.
Acquaintance, friend, lover, partner, soulmate.
Will you take advantage of talking to the person standing next to you in line?
At least smile.
In the very least, you just may make someone's day!
A friendship thread last year...
and now, i'm reading posts of a lost persona on someone's buddy list. You must have lost the magic in your smile...
...listen to the sound of silence....

Where there is a Friend, there is always a sheep and in Dracula case there is always a goat..:)

Hello Soniya....h r u? I strongly disagree with ur saying. You might be having some unpleasant experiences in life. One should not forget that all fingers can never be equal, same is true with friends also. So, please stop punishing others for a mistake they never committed. All I mean is .....One can not look GOOD by making others look BAD. May Lord bless ur Dictionary.

today, in one of the news channels, i came across a nice example of friendship..
in some country, in a zoo, a lion cub, a tiger cub and a bear were kept together where they could play together.
its amazing that after 2 years, the zoo officials have not yet seen any instance of fights between the three animals. they are best of friends and love playing together..
this proves that, if the basic needs of wild animals are fulfilled, they will remain friendly naturally..
thats probably because they dont suffer from complexes...
maybe you are right boston..but they didnt say anything about their sex..
Maybe they were all male. If you put one female in the group, you'll be surprised what will happen!
LOVE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS
There ain't a dream that don't
Have a chance ,To come true now
It just takes a little faith baby
Anything that we want to do

There ain't nothing in our way baby
Nothing our love couldn't raise above
We can get through the night

With a little faith...
You believe in me, I'll believe in you

hi anthoworx, nice "friendship" post..i like it...i myself believe in the power of friendship...true friendship that is...so priceless...
"there are no mistakes...just lessons learned"
i can sense good friendship is developing here, right now.
friends are better than your far away relatives, sometimes better than your brothers. not that your brothers or relatives are bad, but because friends like relatives are gift from God.
deep, so, the thong didn't arrived huh. i guess your old image is better than today. in my humble opinion only.
progress
hmmmmm
offcourse love can move the mountain.. but what if love want to settle on the mountain..
but antho love can move mountains
yeah surely patient remove the mountains like faith.. but let the mountain be there this year.. we will decorate it with love...
scary indeed darude but at least u had one toothless friend....oh yeah antho patient patient remove mountains like faith;)
i wear the smile always... if you missed it dont worry you will find it at right time.. be patient.
that will be a very scary face then you dont want to have nightmares.
darude.. u can always wear a smile without showing ur teeth, try it;)
anthoworx..i didnt catched ur smile, again again pls....
my suggestion to you.. if your friend is your enemy.. declare failure.. i bet you will be the winner in life.
that is exactly what I wanted to say, also because your enemy in the war is obvious for you.
i know one reason.. they are the people who know you well.. your strength and weakness.. if you have anything else please explain...
Friends are more dangerous than eneimies, do you know why?
dont worry friendship ship sails with friends in it not with their beauty...
Khalid... to make friends or have friends you need not have a caste or creed...
deepinmyheart.. passing a smile to u :) deep from my heart.
and what if one doesnt have teeth in his mouth and is ashamed of smiling??? then what should he/she do?
Just for your information we as Muslims have different view to friend ship
here is a question:
Dear sir/madam,
I want to know about friendship between male and female. Is that allowed in Islam?
I have lots of friends both male and female. I belong to the Hindu religion. I have Muslim boy and girl friends in real life. No problem in that.
I had one online chat-friend from Pakistan. She is also Muslim. We were talking for more than 6 months. Mostly about spiritual things, but she left me by saying the reason is religion.
She always called me as a brother. She never accepted me as a boyfriend. I want to have her friendship. She is such good girl. How can religion become a barrier for our friendship?
Why don’t people have trust in the friendship between male and female? Is there no possibility of good friendship between male and female? Why the negative thought of sin.
Please answer me.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of frienship
.
I prefer RPG than sword. Fire from a distance :D
i shared the post in general not taking in mind this is qatar or am talking about any individual..
you find parents when you are born, you have siblings and you accept it coz you have no choice.. when it comes to sailing in a ship of friends you have a choice... to hop in..
FS.. my post was not to hunt new friends.. anyways thanx for your comment..
Victory... everyone takes failure as fate.. but no one jumps to the track of race.. try running on the track with a niche.. it would be more satisfactory then being a spectator on seat...
Darude... FS.. Shakespeare says the worst enemy is the person who touch your heart.. now it could be with a thought or with a sword..
Kaput is my new enemy now along with colt
but yes you are still my worst friend.
Enjoy till it lasts.
Darude...you are my worst enemy:(
each person's perception and priorities in life are different. We have learned (since birth) to compete and win, feel happy and celebrate the success.
Rightly said we do feel insecure and jump into the defensive mode especially when in public forums.
We need to appreciate that some are really blessed with certain special gifts.
Keep smiling :)
you are the worst of all in my friends :/
Good thought Antho!! Hope you get some good friends on QL..:)
or sheep there is always a friend around .
As a Qatari guy who is standing in the que for example I would never ask a lady that I do not know a question.
It is our attitude here, but again this is different from one person to another also from a Qatari guy to another Qatari guy.
But we may ask a man in the que and discuss something with him (this is my way).
It is also your luck whether the person infront of you is willing to talk or no.
You say sharing lives experiences, well I think this should not be discussed with anyone except your soulmate or parents and if bad experience with a woman then never ever tell this to your wife.
I know some guys who like to tell us about their relations with women, and I consider these people very silly and bad and illness carriers because they may affect other peoples lives.
See it is your belief which protects you, that is to say some people think more experiences is always good, but these experience could be like a circle and you can never get out of it so better stay away from it.
If you are happily living with your wife and you consider to make a friendship with a girl, this friendship can develop and grow and after some time this girl may knock on your door and say I am pragnant and I am carrying your child and guess what may happen, you may run after her and leave your wife and children and destroy your life if it was a happy life.
Always think twice before any friendship.
hm,
commitment at this junction of LIFE! Good one..
Have fun and enjoy life, whatever one is blessed with!
