This world is full of people. But not all are your friends. People form their own circles! According to their tastes,castes,likes,dislikes, and their choices in life. People talk about matching wavelength, and this is what they mean i guess, belonging with similar interests or as the proverb goes “Birds with the same feather flock together”. Like the different types of birds, there are different types of people, and only people who are like minded get along with each other or sometimes pretend to do so too!
But what about some people who do not restrict themselves to these kinds of notions. They are people who treat everybody equal! These people truly face a lot of rough situations in a cool and calm way but there is a saturation point in their life too! Name and fame are not important to them! Quality is what that matters to them than any other thing! Of course these special people have feelings and emotions like every other person. But unfortunately the society takes them for granted and never respects them or even credits them for what they are...! Instead, exploits them and hurts them as much as possible. Which is really a shame to the human world!
All this happens because people fear that some individual's superiority, might get crushed or may not be highlighted! The character of a person is the most important thing! Everyone talks about it but most of them forget to practice due to their selfishness!
There are three types of groups of people namely, the people who boss around with some superior principles,ideas or tastes; secondly the people who worship these people and enjoy belonging to that group; thirdly the people who are just their own who really don't classify to any particular class, creed or kind! (The noble minded people!)
But when we are in a foreign land initially meeting people from the same country is considered important, later, when there is more population from the same country, people start restricting themselves and narrow down to their castes, tastes,etc., and start grouping people to the inner circle , outer circle and so on. This makes others feel like “a fish out of water”. One time friend becomes a foe here! People develop inner conflict, cold war, and then try searching for soul mates! Finally find that the people who come under the third category are true friends! But the ego in the people who were hurt by others starts to dominate thus soiling their reputation! People are not ready to change but expect others to accommodate accordingly!
A noble minded person, gives important to equality and values other people's interest and co-operates with them. They are the people who cherish the integrity of the human world ! These people are like the Sun which gives light, life and energy to everyone! But many people fail to absorb or gain the positive energy that flows around them because they shelter themselves in the shadows of some false truth which they believe to be true!
The so called noble minded people are free from age, caste, creed, kind, and false principles! They are straight forward, simple, sweet people! Simplicity, Equality, and Fraternity are the blood, life and soul of these noble minded people!

Friendships - Do we have time for them today?
Life is an ocean and we sail in it comfortably with friendship! Friendship is something that is inevitable in our life! However the world may change, friendship will exist. Hence, friends are there for each other at all times.
Friendship is a fine and interesting chapter in everyone's life. As per their age group, even in this modern era, children and adults find time for friendship and spend time together. Our busy lives are consumed by the different activities that our spouses and children participate. Still we look forward to meet our friends to have some fun, share our thoughts and ideas with them.
The only difference is in those days, children played outside with their friends and spent time well in person. And the adults met occasionally. Nowadays, though they are not able to spend so much time in person, they have the advantage of using technology. This generation is more tech savvy that they interact through emails, internet chat, telephones and text messaging to keep in touch. Since the physical presence is also essential, friends take time to meet and go out to movies, beach, sight-seeing, lunch or parties.
Older generation remembers many interesting incidents! But not everyone is able to recollect all the fun. As time goes by, they are so involved in their lives that they forget the nice moments. Whereas today we have camcorders and cell phones to capture those moments and keep them forever as a memento. Whenever we think about our friends, we play the DVDs and recollect the precious moments.
We always find time for friends. When a person is down with a dreaded disease like cancer, his friends rally to his side. They offer support and encouragement by writing or talking to him. They pray for him, raise money for the medical expenses and conduct drives to raise money or to find a organ or marrow donor. We see friends really devoting their time, energy and money to help save their friend's life! Some people travel from distant places to visit and serve them too! Friends from different parts of the world unite to help out their friend. So, its not only we take time to have fun but also to help.
To highlight the value of friendship, here is another example. A couple's only son was in the army for five years. Not only his parents, but many other families who knew him, prayed everyday for his safe return. And by God's grace, he returned home safely.
More than ever, we definitely need and have time for friends now.
