"Friendship,
as defined in the Oxford Dictionary, refers to 'the emotions or conduct of friends or the state of being
friends'. Special emphasis should be given to the words conduct and emotions, because in the end I believe that makes all the
difference."
Friendship or any relationship in the whole wide world has
its ups and downs, exactly like a roller-coaster:
It ascends in the beginning to great heights; there is an air
of excitement, and people are eager to see the events unfold as they look
towards the sky. Then it drops and thus the journey begins. At the start,
everything is a blur as this ride whizzes past, everyone is having a great
time. Then it gets all topsy-turvy with horizontal loops, vertical loops and
loops of all shapes and sizes that are designed to test this roller-coaster's limits. Many people stay strong, others pray to god for dear life and then
there are some who just outright vomit and make a mess of everything. After
that, things settle down a bit and people think about what happened and make
the decision to prepare to face the worst the ride could offer but little do
they know what it has in store. And the roller-coaster comes to a corkscrew,
spiralling down to the ground, the passengers, open-eyed, are scared and face
the final challenge. They fall, down and down and down. People are on the edge of
their seats, fearful of each other and what will happen to them, crying and
praying to let it all end. And then as if He heard their prayers, in a blink of
the eye, they are on the ground, stable and peaceful. Their hearts are in their
throats. In that roller-coaster, there will be people who will be frightful to
go through it again; but they will also be others who had a blast, appreciated the
time they spent and will cherish it for all their lives.
