The Importance of True Friendship in Challenging Times

Friendship, in our fast-paced societies and online world, can feel like it has lost some meaning. But as we climb further into the digital age, (and in 99% of cases for people who do social media right) our relationships rendering us rootless result from networks and superficial connections that have such strong decoy power it all feels like too much. It is always difficult to find your way through the clamor of shallow friends but it also makes you appreciate and loves those who would walk with you side by side in times of tribulation.

Most likely, fake friends can be recognized because they are not supportive whenever some of the aspects in life become challenging. You might feel seen in the happy times but they can disappear when your down. It feels like loneliness mixed with betrayal during times you needed a shoulder. But gaining wisdom in this area can also create a greater understanding of the nature of real friendship through going to blows with insincerity.

Friends are the ones who come when times get tough as well. They listen with no judgement and they are always there to encourage you when needed or to cry on. These are the traits that separate them from fair-weather friends. They hold your struggles for you, allowing them a part in preserving the trust they have developed with all who we willing to share.

In addition, knowing what difficulties are posed to us by life could be further described as clarity about our relations. Tough times help to filter out the real relationships from the superficial ones. It allows us to understand who our real pals is better. There are those we will come to know who can weather storms well; forging such a connection serves also as another ribbon in the tapestry of thankfulness — for there is nothing that opens more towards gratitude than realizing just how amazing it feels when such individuals reach down through strong hands and lift weary sagging spirits.

Ultimately, fake friends will always make some noise but that is also a perfect foundation for differentiating the real unique gems of true friendships from ruthlessly difficult circumstances. When life gets tough, let us remember how important it is to celebrate those who demonstrate loyalty towards our connection.
