Friendship and Love.....
Friendship and love - so much in common but yet so dissimilar! An eternal question that does the round is, What is the difference between friendship and love? Is platonic friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Unfortunately, precise answers can’t be given.
What is friendship and why do we call a person our friend is easily answered. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness in the world. Love is even stronger than fear and death. It is like a large box of chocolates - you take a chocolate but you never know what is inside. Sometimes, it is pleasant and tasty but it might just be the opposite too. Perhaps, love is just friendship plus physical closeness. Your heart will never beat in anticipation of meeting a friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more.
Indeed, maybe love is stronger than friendship! For some people there is only one step between love and friendship. There are some things that you can’t tell your beloved. You can share them only with your friends because they will support and advise you. In spite of everything, friendship takes an important place in our hearts and our lives will be just lost without it.
So, with all said and done, there isn’t a definite distinction between love and friendship. Perhaps it doesn’t exist or maybe it is specific for each human being. I don’t know what kind of a relation exists between friendship and love exactly but I do know that they are the most exciting feelings in my life.
