Настоящая, крепкая и долголетняя дружба – священное понятие для каждого человека. Однако умение дружить дается далеко не каждому. Ведь для того, чтобы не только считаться, но и реально быть настоящим другом, нужно всегда быть рядом в трудную минуту, мгновенно отзываться на давать мудрые советы и оказывать всяческую поддержку. 

Увы, в нашем мире большинство людей склонны к эгоизму, и это качество зачастую мешает вовремя прийти на выручку, протянуть руку или даже просто выслушать. Известно, что люди часто сторонятся неудачников, подсознательно опасаясь перенять их невезучесть. И если друг велением воли попадает в сплошную полосу сменяющихся неудач, довольно трудно в таком положении найти искреннее понимание и готовность хотя бы советом и дружеским сопереживанием. Лишь истинный друг всегда окажется рядом и, вопреки молве, подаст руку и не предаст остракизму того, кому не повезло в жизни
