What is a "friend"? Even the world's most genius people have not yet managed to define exactly what a friend is, and what makes someone your friend. I think that it is a feeling – when someone is your friend, you just feel it. When it comes to me, there are two qualities that my friends must have; in this article I'll introduce them.
The first one is loyalty. There is a saying stating that "the dog is the man's best friend" because the dog stays loyal to its owner, no matter what happens. I don't think my best friend should act like a dog, but I do think he should be loyal. A person who is nice in person but says horrible things about you behind your back, is not a friend – because he is not loyal. Loyalty is the basis of any kind of relationship – a romantic one or a friendly one. I believe loyalty concludes all the very important qualities a good friend should have; reliability - because only the people who stay loyal are reliable, and understanding - because a person who is not loyal would not bother to understand you. This is why I find this quality so important.
The second important quality is that he should be someone who I have things in common with. People who are completely different might be great people to argue with, but I don't think that a person who has nothing in common with me, can be my friend.
But, just like I said in the opening paragraph, friendship is something which is very hard to define. There is an exception to every rule, and sometimes, you can find out that your best friend is your biggest enemy. However, I believe that a friend simply has to be loyal and have things in common with me, as long as I don't want the relationship to be hypocritical and boring.
Excellent work
