A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed

Friends are important to all of us to tide over the bad times and to celebrate with us the good times. We need  friends whom we can trust and who will wish us good. But sometimes it is difficult to tell a true friend apart from a bad friend. It is easy to maintain friendships when everything is going well. Many people benefits from our success and would stay with us for that reason. If you get good grades, people may befriend you for notes. If you throw parties, people may flock to you to get invited and enjoy. It is easy to have people around when life is good. However, friendship is truly tested when hard times fall upon us. In such situations, we find those people standing with us who genuinely care for us.  They do no change as circumstances change. They remain loyal and steadfast in their love and concern. They go out of their way to help us out. The proverbial 'Friend in need' is a valuable friend and we must be equally true to them in our friendship.
