GOOD COMPANIONS

GOOD COMPANIONS

Man is described as a social animal. He cannot live all alone. A lonely man is either a saint or a beast. One feels the necessary of companions constantly at all stages of one’s life. “Sorrow shared is sorrow halved and joy doubled”. One’s pleasure will lose half their charm when there are no friends to share them.

The common saying is: Birds of a feather flock together. So a man can easily be judged by the company he keeps. If he is often seen in the company of idle men, he also naturally be looked down upon as an idler.

A real companion, however, is difficult to find. Such a companion when fond should be one to whom one can turn to for advice, comfort, encouragement and help. He may not necessarily be learned or wise, but he will understand his friend perfectly well and will not fail to impart to him courage and strength. A good friend is the balm of our life.
