As a great quote was saying, "friendship is the bridge between Earth and Heaven"; actually, no matter how much you analyze this quote or how much you try to describe friendship in words, they could never be enough to define it. It's all about giving instead of expecting or receiving; it's about feeling when a friend is down and visiting him for no particular reason.. It's about trust and confidence, it's about sharing, it's about another kind of love.
Being your own friend is the first condition though.. A person that is not his best friend in the first place, can't expect to have a friendship relationship with anyone else. That idea is from classic literature and it's true; and so is a quote, saying: "the greatest sweetener of human life is friendship"; these prove once more the value attributed to friendship in literature, whether we're talking about classic or modern works.
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.
Since love transforms itself into a beautiful friendship in the end, we could conclude that it's probably the best human emotion there is - but that would be trying to put it into theory again. The ones who felt it(and I'm sure anyone felt it at least once) know its sweet taste as they also know the bitter sweet of the betrayal. They're both part of our lives and they're here to stay. - 15634
