THE RAINBOW OF FRIENDSHIP

A Friendship is like a rainbow which is formed when all the colors merge to bring out a spectacular rainbow across the sky. Just like the colors, all friends are important in forming a lovely rainbow. Life is made happy with equal amounts of joy and sorrow. Many friends come into our life, some stay with us only to a certain part of our long journey. They go away due to circumstances, distance and many other factors.

     In a life's journey, we realize the importance of all our friends when we feel that life is being cut short or threatened. A realization comes into our life that all friends have a part in making our days happy. When the pains of life, threatens your day to day life, and we fight hard to keep up our positive attitude and never give up spirit, certain friends come in, to light up our inner spirit and keep it burning. We are always indebted to them. 

When the  rainbow is formed, it is like a bridge between the friends. Both have to walk equal distance to make the relationship strong. The assumptions and doubts that creep in, spoils the formation of a beautiful rainbow  and the bridge that was once a spectacular wonder of our life. An extraordinary understanding helps in keeping up our spirits. New friends come in, but never once are the old friends forgotten. As they say new friends are like diamonds, but the old ones are gold that holds the new one in place.

 Sometimes assumptions, doubts are like cancer to the mind. It spoils the root and a kind of uncertainty creeps in. When we are in pain, this aggravates all the pain and stress sets in, paving way for the disease that has been gnawing at our tissues to flare up and cause a lot of problems that has already been there. We look up to our friends for understanding and support at such times. Sometimes, we feel as though we are being driven away from each other. a crack appears and constant pain widens the crack, making it more painful.

 Sometimes there is a storm, and then everything becomes still. The silence after the storm sometimes is of utmost importance, to let the hurt and pain disappear.  The assumptions, like this storm takes away many from our lives. Those who  care for us, cease to care. They move away from us, making us wonder what happened. They just ignore us for days together. Respond only if we make an attempt. This feeling gnaws at us.

Tomorrow is never promised. We never know what tomorrow brings us. There comes a time when we realize that what ever life brings accept it, do what makes us happy and live our life as we want. No one will bear the pain with us. Go on life's journey with a smile, trying to help those in pain or passing on inspiration to those who need it and keep going with a never give up attitude, with the hope that the balance of our life is lived without any regrets.

There is always any  opportunity , to be with, share & make amends 

To parents,
To siblings
To friends
And many more.
No one is promised tomorrow.
Live a wonderful life without any regrets.

The best part of life is when your family becomes your friends
And
Your friends becomes your family.
