What is a FRIEND, and what is the meaning of the word FRIEND

 In life, we often hear or use the word friend. But, how often do we stop for a moment and reflect on its meaning?

Fair-Weather Friends

Fair-Weather Friends.( Rysana) In the  sunlight , they bloom like flowers, Fair-weather friends, with  eating  smiles .

They're friends of fortune, not of  spirit , Their love is conditional, a work of art. Oh, the pain of being used, and cast aside, As   an   old  shoe, that   is  no longer ...
