The definition of a friend has changed in today’s technologically
connected world. Today we may think we have many “friends.” It is true:
we do enjoy the ability to be informed and to stay current with what is
happening in the lives of many of our acquaintances as well as current
and former friends and even people we have not met personally whom we
call our friends.
In the context of social media, the term “friend” is often used to describe
contacts rather than
relationships.
You have the ability to send your “friends” a message, but this is not
the same thing as having a relationship with a person one on one.
Sometimes our preoccupation is on
having friends. Perhaps we should focus on
being a friend.MANY LOVES TO MY BEST FRIEND
There are many definitions of what it means to be a friend. I will
never forget hearing Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles speak about what it means to be a friend and the powerful
influence of friends in our lives. His definition has had lasting impact
in my life. He said, “Friends are people who make it easier to live the
gospel of Jesus Christ.” In this sense, seeking another person’s
highest good is the essence of true friendship. It is putting someone
else first. It is being strictly honest, loyal, and chaste in every
action. Perhaps it is the word
commitment that unlocks the real meaning of friendship.SO FRIENDSHIP IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT................
