A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED - REALLY??!

-

God is great. He has created so many beautiful things and the most beautiful thing he has ever created is a human being. He has not given us the power to select our parents, our family but look at his intelligence, he has given us the power to select the most beautiful relation in this world and that is Friendship. This is the only relation which I believe is the most important for any human being. We share every problem, happiness with our family but we can share anything like anything with our friends because it is us only that we have chosen them, we have so much faith and trust in them that we can and we do freely share everything with our beloved friends.


But have you ever thought who is a real and true friend?? Have you ever thought the person whom we trust so much, to whom we share everything, is that person worth it? I mean just think once again who is your real friend.


The problem with us is that we all believe that a person who always talk to us, who always laughs with us, who we all believe that he/she is with us no matter what, to whom we share all our thoughts is our best and special friend, no-one can take that place but is it true? Is that person truly in support of us? or they are with us just for their benefit. This we all need to think about once again and I am sure that the list which we have made of "best friends" will come down and one thing which you will not believe but is a fact is that the people which you will remove from your list will be ones which you think they are the best friends but the harsh reality is that the people which we believe are the closest they are not...


We all say "A friend in need is a friend indeed". Does this statement hold some value in your life? From the list of your friends or so-called best friends think carefully how many of them have supported you or helped you in your bad times? And trust me the result will be shocking. There will be hardly any person(s) who have helped you.


So, where are we going wrong? Why that list is reduced to a great extent. The reason is that people nowadays have forgotten the real meaning of friendship. They don't know how to justify this relation. 

People now fake each other that they are their friends but they are not. They just try to seek their benefit from each other but when it comes to their turn to prove their friendship they fail every time. \



Now the question arises.. then who is a friend, how we can choose the right person as our friend. Well, to be honest, that's the real test for every human being. I mean, maybe this is the reason why GOD has given us this authority to choose friends because he wants to see how we make choices for ourselves, how we identify people whether they are good or bad otherwise he only has sent people in our life as readymade friends. GOD is so smart na.. right?


So, take out some time from your schedule and think calmly about who is your friend, don't go for searching best friends just think of true, real, honest friends. And trust me those people are only your best friends, they are your second family. No worries if the number is less because what matters is the quality, not quantity. What's the purpose of having so many people on your list in the name of friends who are of no use, are just fake. Having a few people is not bad because they are true, they will never hurt you, they will never leave you.


I also thought that I also have many friends who are always there with me, who truly care for me, but NO. They are not. I also have revised my list of friends and now I know who is truly my friend. It's a great and much-needed exercise for all of us which we need to do at regular intervals of life because this is a part of our test which GOD is taking. One thing which I have learned from my experience is that if you want to be happy don't expect anything from anyone because people will only use you, they will only talk when they need something from you, otherwise, they will even not care, they will forget us and they will only remember us when only they need something.



So, think carefully before making someone as your friend, analyse properly their intentions, and then only proceed. Otherwise, you will end up hurting yourself only and will regret your decisions.


I am really glad and thankful to God that I have found some really good and best friends in my life who always supported me, who always stood with me no matter what the situation, who guided me, who motivated me. 

Some friends are temporary they come and go but some friends are permanent - they will never leave you. No matter how much we fight with them, no matter how angry we are with them but we also know that we all love them truly, they care for us, they think for our betterment just like our family. Yes, they are less in number but the truth is they are the best gifts which you can get in your life after your family.

Farms Bill 2020 - Are they justifiable to the real heros

  Theme: On 20th September 2020, Parliament passed three farm bills, which created protests in the country. The three bills are – ‘ Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill ‘, 2020 – ‘One Nation-one market’ concept was introduced to allow farmers to sell the produce anywhere in the country. ‘ Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill ‘, 2020 – Contract farming empowers farmers to engage with wholesalers, exporters etc. so that they will get the price assurance before sowing the crop. ‘ Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill ‘, 2020 – This bill removed pulses, oilseeds, onions and some other products from the essential commodities list, and thereby the restrictions on the storage of these items will be removed. Pros: One nation – one market can end the monopoly of ‘Agricultural Produce Market Committees ‘ (APMCs). APMCs criminalises setting up of other competing markets. Some states made it mandatory for far...

Stop Abuse on Men

 International Men's Day is celebrated on 19 November every year throughout the world.  This is an opportunity to shed light on issues faced by men that typically lie in the shadows of society. One of these issues is Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against men. The popular image of IPV is based on the familiar gender stereotype of a male villain and a female victim. But that stereotype paints an incomplete picture, with new research indicating a high number of male victims of domestic abuse. Research on Domestic Violence A recent UK government survey indicated that 9% of males had experienced some form of partner abuse, which amounts to around 1.4 million men. This includes stalking, physical violence and sexual assault. Indeed, a seminal US study found that male IPV victims are often slapped, kicked, punched, grabbed or choked by their partners. Interestingly, a growing body of international research indica...

Heinous Crime - Guess who?

Child labour  is a term you might have heard about in news or movies. It refers to a crime where children are forced to work from a very early age. It is like expecting kids to perform responsibilities like working and fending for themselves. There are certain policies which have put restrictions and limitations on children working. The average age for a child to be appropriate to work is considered fifteen years and more. Children falling below this age limit won’t be allowed to indulge in any type of work forcefully. Why is that so? Because child labour takes away the kids opportunity of having a normal childhood, a proper education and physical and mental well-being. In some countries, it is illegal but still, it’s a far way from being completely eradicated. Causes of Child Labour Child Labour happens due to a number of reasons. While some of the reasons may be common in some countries, there are some reasons which are specific in particular areas and regions. When we look ...
