“Anything is possible when you have the right people and a friend there to support you”- Misty Copeland.
Hello guys, hope you all are doing well. I had a question for all of you, could you please tell me what the above quote reminds you of?
I think ninety percent of our answers would be ‘our friends’.
Yes, every person in this world requires someone whom he or she can fall back on. This being is often said to be our best friend. This is the person whom you trust the most after your parents, it is that relation and bonding where there is little selfishness and a lot of secrets. That is why as human beings you often long for one good friend in your life.
And yes, this has been an age-old thing. Who isn’t aware of the bonding between Lord Krishna and warrior Prince Arjuna? The Bhagavad Gita is all about the ways how the Lord himself helps his beloved friend in all walks of life, the good and the bad. I would rather say there are hundreds of examples of such friendship in the mythologies all around the world.
As soon as this idea flickered through my mind, I thought of sharing something in friendship with you all.
Hope you’ll have a great time reading this piece and will be reminiscing all good memories that you have with your best friends!
