Friendship and Love.
Friendship and love. Both are so much related to each other. And
both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between
friendship and love? Is platonic friendship possible between
persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do
we call some one a very good friend? If we care for a person, if
we are always ready to help a person and if we share most of our
thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always
count upon our good friends in any emergency. We are always sure
that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way.
We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The
friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that
most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
What about love? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing
that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love
transcends all this. During love, we are attached with a
particular person, while in friendship, one may have many
friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to
another that you will be pained if your beloved is hurt! Love
also involves a physical element. Friendship does not have that.
This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the
specie can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting
your friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your
friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your
friend for few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes
thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this
and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and
friendship. Take a look at some eCards designed for friends and
for your beloved. The difference will be apparent. Friend

beyond friendship. Love begins, where friendship ends.
