This Short Film Will Help You Understand The Value Of Friendship

Poets say that friends are angels who give us their wings when ours have forgotten how to fly, who don’t let us touch the ground, and who, if we do touch it, help us get up. In other words, friendship is the strength of the castle of our life.

The basis of any friendship “contract” is recreated in a space devoid of all requirements, all conditions and all ineffectual whims.

It is a feeling which gives us oxygen, fresh air and life, which accompanies us comfortably, which makes us feel loved, and which allows us to enjoy a certain confidence.

Friendship demolishes our walls, helps us to profit from destiny, fosters worry, ambition, surpassing, positive feelings of confidence and learning.

Indeed, you have to be a very good friend to help without demanding, to accompany without putting pressure and to show without conditioning.

Friendship, a feeling that can be cultivated

Anyone who knows the value of friendship knows that the only way to create and maintain this feeling is to become the best friend you can have yourself.

This is important, because we too often forget that splendor and unconditionality have to start with us.

Thus, friends remain united despite adversities and shortcomings, for it is precisely in the union and in the absence of conditions that the true feeling of friendship resides.

When bad times happen, the suffering is less when we are in the company of our friends, because the support they give us just by being present fills us with strength to continue moving on the loose rope. .

Taking care of our friends, supporting them, taking care of them and not abandoning them are just as many basic principles of any friendship.

This is reflected wonderfully in the short film (Change of batteries, in French), which tells the story of the friendship that exists between a sick old lady and her assistance robot, a friendship that transcends all borders, even when the batteries wear out …

The importance of caring for and protecting the people you love

A man, his horse and his dog were walking in the street. After much walking, the man realized that he, his horse and his dog had died in an accident. The path was very long, the hill was steep, the ground was strong, they were sweating and very thirsty. They desperately needed water.

In a bend in the path, they saw a large magnificent door, all made of marble, which led to a square paved with blocks of gold. In its center was a spring from which emanated crystal clear water. In front of the door was a man sheltered under a sentry box, who watched over the entrance. The walker approached him.

– Hello.
– Hello, answered the guard.
“What is such a beautiful place?” He asked.
– You are here in Heaven, retorted the man.
– What good news to know that we have arrived in Heaven! We are so thirsty, he said.
“You can come in and drink the water whenever you want,” said the guard, pointing the source to the man.
– My horse and my dog ​​are thirsty.
– I’m very sorry, said the guardian, but animals are not allowed to enter here.

The man stood there, bewildered. He was very thirsty, but still he was not willing to go out for a drink and let his friends die of thirst. He then continued on his way. After having climbed the hill, thirst and fatigue then much stronger still, they arrived at a place whose entrance was signaled by an old door ajar which led to a dirt road, bordered on both sides by trees which allowed to the area to remain shaded. In the shade of one of the trees on the road, a man was lying.

– Hello, said the walker. 
– Hello, the man replied.
– We are very thirsty, me, my horse and my dog.
– There is a spring in the middle of these stones, said the man. You can drink as much as you like.

The man, the horse and the dog reached the spring and drank enough to quench their thirst.

– Thank you very much, he said as he left.
– Come back when you want, retorted the man.
– By the way, said the walker, what is the name of this place?
– Here is Heaven, said the man.
– The sky ? However, the man under the gatehouse, a little further down, next to the large marble door, told me that Heaven was over there.
– No, over there, it is not Heaven, but Hell.
– But then, said the walker, this false information must cause great confusion.
– By no means, replied the man. In fact, they do us a great service, because there remain the people who have no qualms about abandoning their best friends.

What are the lessons to be learned from this story?

Both the short film and the story that illustrate this article on the value of friendship tell us how we should support the people around us.

Friendship, true, is this bond that binds two people without masks, without selfishness, without interests.

Perhaps the best friend is not the one who spends the most time by your side or the one with whom you have shared hundreds of experiences in your life, but rather the one who makes you feel special, who won’t abandon you, and who stays by your side when you need them most.

Because we know well that friendship and the love that composes it are the most important ingredients of the recipe for life, and what we have most precious in life are not our possessions, but all these people by our side.
