This short will help you understand the value of friendship

The poets say that friends are angels who give us wings when ours have forgotten how to fly, that they don’t let us touch the ground and that, if we touch it, they help us get up. This is because, in other words, the value of friendship is the strength of the castle of our life.

The basis of everything “contract” friendship is recreated in a space free of demands, conditions and vain whims. It is a feeling that offers us oxygen, fresh air and life, that accompanies us comfortably, that makes us feel loved, that offers us security.

And friendship breaks down our walls, helps us enjoy destiny, encourages restlessness, ambition, self-improvement, positive feelings of confidence and learning. Because You have to be a very good friend to help without demanding, to accompany without pressuring and to show without conditioning.

The value of friendship, a feeling that is cultivated

Anyone who knows the value of friendship knows that the only way to create and maintain that feeling is by becoming the best friend you can have. This is important because We forget too often that splendor and unconditionality must begin with ourselves.

When bad times come, the suffering is less in the company of our friends, because the support we receive with the simple perception of their presence fills us with strength to continue walking the tightrope.

Caring, supporting, caring for and not abandoning our friends are the basic principles of all friendship. This is reflected in a wonderful way in the short “Change batteries”which tells the story of the friendship of a sick old woman and her assistance robot, a friendship that will cross any border even when the batteries run out…

The importance of caring for and protecting those we love

At a bend in the road they saw a magnificent gate, all made of marble, that led to a square paved with blocks of gold, in the center of which there was a fountain from which crystalline water emanated. The walker addressed the man who was guarding the entrance in a sentry box.

– Good day.
– Good morning – the man responded.
– What is this beautiful place? – She asked.
– This is Heaven – was the response.
– It’s good that we made it to Heaven! We are very thirsty – says the man.
– You can come in to drink water whenever you want – said the guard – indicating the source.
– My horse and my dog ​​are thirsty too.
– I’m sorry – said the guard – Animals are not allowed here.

The man was disconcerted, because his thirst was great. But he was not willing to drink leaving his friends thirsty. So he continued on his way. After a long walk up the hill, with thirst and fatigue multiplying, they arrived at a place whose entrance was marked by an old, half-open door. The door led to a dirt road, with trees on both sides providing shade. In the shade of one of the trees there was a man lying down.

-Good morning, said the walker.-Good morning, said the man.
-Me, my horse and my dog ​​are very thirsty.
“There is a fountain between those stones,” said the man. They can drink as much as they want.

He The man, the horse and the dog went to the fountain and quenched their thirst.

“Thank you very much,” he said as he left.
“Come back whenever you want,” said the man.
-By the way, said the traveler, what is the name of this place?
-Heaven- answered the man.
-Darling? But the man in the sentry box below, next to the marble gate, said that this was Heaven.
–That is not Heaven, that is Hell.
“But then,” said the walker, “that false information must cause great confusion.”
“No way,” the man responded.
-Actually, They do us a great favor because there are people who are capable of abandoning their best friends.
