An American writer and philosopher
, Henry David Thoreau said that " friends do not simply live in harmony, as they say, but in melody . Evocative image, which clearly shows that "vibration" that produces in us this feeling, this song is deep and more, plus this sequence of sounds, it will be pleasant to our ears, as well as the friendship will ring true in our hearts. One can never be a stranger to this feeling, because man, since its inception, weaves friendship, which gives it life, fill it, placing it in that exchange of love for which man himself was created. A well- see, therefore, a true friendship is the most beautiful things a man can experience. In times of great confusion and superficiality, however, the sense of "true friendship" seems to fade and blend in a series of derivatives as well as the very word "friendship", it tends to be abused to excess, until it loses its meaning . Suffice it to say "friends" on Facebook or those of Maria De Filippi, or even an infinite number of friends to adolescence, often friends or companions of simple experiences. In contrast, the friendship, as a way to love, is something much deeper, and certainly not be reached with ease, for love requires true self-denial for the good of others. " No one has greater love than to lay down his life for his friends . Jesus with these beautiful words, and all his life, taught us the way of true friendship, a friendship even capable of "giving life", that of sacrificing for love, the greatest gift that each of us has received. But it is precisely this mutual self-giving that comes true joy, the joy of the eyes of a friend that is reflected in our little hearts. And if, as I said before, no one is excluded from this wonderful relationship of love, it is because no one is denied the Friend par excellence, Jesus, who gives himself every day for us and for our joy of salvation. And with Him and through Him, even our friends shine a different light because they are disciples of true love, because they are capable of putting aside selfishness and self-interest, as directed towards the same goal. Let us not miss a gift so great, thank God for friends who gave us, and Let us offer them with everything ourselves, we learn to live as friends and let us take from our greatest friend, Jesus Everything will shine with joy. As written by Mother Teresa of Calcutta: " Find the time to be a friend: is the road to happiness .
