An English publication offered a prize for the best definition of a friend, and among the thousands of answers received were the following:
“One who multiplies joys, divides grief.”
“One who understands our silence.”
But here is the definition that won the prize: “A friend—the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.”
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Give it some thought and be a friend. Everybody needs them.
