Friendship could be seen as a special kind of concern for your friend, a concern that could reasonably be understood as a kind of love (Helm, 2005). We all have friends, whether we are poor or rich.

I have known her for 6 years, what a simple word I said, she can understand it, me too. I think friendship is different from love between girls and boys. We share our happiness and sadness with each other and we can easily understand each other. Do your parents take care of you when you are sick? I think they will, friends will too. If my friends know that I am sick, some of them will spend several days with me in the hospital, some will buy me medicine, and some will buy f...... middle of paper... ...our life. A true friend will do all good for his friends: the greatest good, that is, that they may know God and love him with all their heart, soul, and mind (Roper, 2013). Works Cited Helm, B. (2005, 5 17).
