Friends

What would our life be without friends? It would be morose, monotonous, dreary, blue, deserted and meaningless. Friends are there for you always, through thick and thin. They do not gauge you. You can be yourself without having to worry about what they will think or say. They accept you for what you are and even condone you for the mistakes you make. You can have long inane confabulations with them. They do not trample you; they tread with you. They fill ho-hum moments with fun and laughter. If you are feeling down or low, they lift your spirits.
They are by your side in times of exigency. Friends are special people who like us inspite of our flaws.

Even if you are taciturn or cantankerous, they allow you to be so and in fact are helpful in shaking the dysphoria. Friends are the greatest boon in life.
