"Friendship is the bridge between Earth and Heaven" - that's what a great quote was saying; the truth is, however, that no matter how much you try to define or describe friendship, words never seem to fit. It's all about offering, and not expecting anything in return; being content without receiving. Knowing when a friend needs a cheer-up and giving it at the right moment could never be compared to any other kind of help. Confidence and trust are also a big part of this very complex equation that could be defined as love of another kind.
An interesting approach literature has on the subject claims that a person should be friends with itself first, in order to be friends with others. He who hasn't found a friend in himself, could never have one in the outside world. Another quote, saying "the greatest sweetener of human life is friendship" is also very real, and together they prove the value given to friendship by literature - may it be classical or modern.
Psychologists' take on the subject are, naturally, from a scientific approach - so they propose some theories for defining friendship: rational dialectics, social exchange theory, equity theory, attachment styles and others. All studies have shown that the most important ingredient in a friendship relationship is confidence - it comes to sustain the human in his need to discuss his important intimacies without being betrayed; time is a must in developing such a relationship - and if the confidence is broken once, it will never grow back to the same level that it could have reached in other conditions. Common sense tells us that no matter what we do or try, we can't put friendship into theory - but some general things do apply.
The word "friendship" itself is even used in some political speeches, as it is a very powerful emotion modifier. People are sensitive about this word, and not at their conscious level - that's why it's so powerful. It was even used to define relationships between states, although this unnaturalized the meaning of it in a way.
In conclusion, one of the greatest human connection is through friendship; those who have felt it know its importance - those who have been betrayed know that unforgettable sour taste. But in the end, us humans are interconnected through this wonderful form of connection and even love tends to become a beautiful friendship in latter years. - 15634
