"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.
But in order to be able to have such feelings, you must first be friends with yourself; a person that can't be friends with itself, can't have any other friend in the whole wide world. That's literature's take on the subject. Quotes such as "the greatest sweetener of human life is friendship", or others alike illustrate the special value given to friendship in both classic and modern works.
There are many psychological theories that try to define friendship, such as: equity theory, rational dialectics, social exchange theory, attachment styles and many others. The common fact scientists agreed on was that confidence is the most important ingredient in this equation of friendship - it satisfies the need of humans to share their secrets - but there is one big condition: not being betrayed. Once that occurs, wounds heal very hard but in most cases never heal. In the end,we can only conclude that scientists generally agreed on common sense facts - so a the theories about friendship are still very vague and far from offering the right scientific answers.
The word itself is very powerful - "friendship" being responsible for modifying human emotions. That's why some(as the politicians) exploit it for their own interest it, by using it in political speeches. People perceive it and react to it at their subconscious level - that's where it power comes from. Politicians have even used it to define relations between states and this contributed to distorting its initial meaning 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. - 16955
