Universal Friendship - A Different view about Friendship

First of all this post may seem a little weired to many of you who are reading this. But, just think about what I am saying. I'll be very glad if you can leave a comment.

I have heard many times that,
'A true friend is someone,
Who is always there with you when you are in trouble,
Who lends you a shoulder when you are crying,
Who always cares about you and protects you from evil,
And bla bla bla....'
I hope you have heard things like that about friendship.
Of course they are true and very correct. And are really nice when you experience them.
But, I call this "Traditional Friendship". Because concepts in this definition for friendship would lead you to be more and more emotional and heavily dependent on your friend, such that if some little misunderstanding happens sometimes your everlasting friendship is in danger. I personally had seen people being like this and had experienced it myself too. Actually, there is nothing wrong being like that. But, I think that friendship is more broader than that. Something more complex than that.

Now let me tell you what I/we think what "Universal Friendship" is all about.
The friendship I am talking about, only depends on 'mutual understanding'.
And almost all the conditions of Traditional friendship are violated.

1. Your friend would remain with you unchangeable in all situations. i.e. He would not be showing out his sadness when you are sad. I say it because, if you also become sad and fall mentally when your friend is sad, then sometimes you won't be able help him to over come his problem and recover back fast.
2. He is not sensitive to your emotions emotionally. But, sensitive to you via understanding.
3. Behaves as an ordinary person in public, apart from being special every time everywhere. But, shows his specialty at the right time.
4. And Universal Friendship is totally independent from gender, age, region and social status. And has no restrictions and boundaries due to culture and other reasons. It doesn't mean that there are no secrets within them, of course they may have their own personal things.
5. And their friendship doesn't only benefit themselves, but to everyone around them who needs help.
6. Listening and understanding comes first before advising.
7. Finally, there is no reason why he/she is your friend. i.e. your friendship doesn't rely on any condition. Because when you decide a reason for friendship and when it is violated your friendship has no meaning.
   

After all, the things I mentioned may be incomplete, because of low details.
Throughout my entire life upto now, from things I experienced, from things I've heard and from things I analyzed I/we think this is the best way a friendship should be to be eternal, precious and sacred.
Simply, it's just unexplainable.
I hope you understood what my point are...

Finally, I would like to dedicate this special posting for my Best friend "Sudantha" who has been my friend for 18 years of the 23 years I lived so far.
