In fact I have found out that people who claim to have a lot of friends are one of the most lonely people. Actually they don't have it. Mostly they don't have even a single real friend. They try to find comfort in numbers. What I have found out is that at best you can have one, two, x one three real friends. In life we all need to speak our mind. Share something which we can't share with anybody else
A very good topic, sir. And as a practicing person of Sanaathana Dharma, I have to tell this that Avadarma allows you to worship God as friend. In fact, it is one of the nine forms of worship. And it said Arjuna is the epitome of worshiping God as a friends. Because he was the Ka of Krishna, he was cocreator with Krishna. He had been given the right to question Krishna and get the answers too
