Chris.
Friendship is a bond, not a legally binding one, but one in which we can be proven as a reliable and consistent friend. In friendship the bond must work both ways. Many people today are lonely because of broken friendships. Friendships often break because we do not understand the meaning of Friendship and so really we do not fulfil what the term “friend” really means.
