قال حكيم قديم -ما عرفنا اسمه ولا لحقنا زمانه-:
(الصاحب وقت الضيق، مثل الظل وقت الغروب، يظل معك لين تغيب الشمس).
والحقيقة يا جماعة الخير أن الصداقة ليست مجرد علاقة عابرة، الصداقة رباط مُقدس يجمع الناس (بعضهم بكُلهم)، فهي مرآة واقعية تُريك عيوبك وقد تضحك معك عليها، وهي مظلة تحميك وقت هبوب العاصفة وتطير معك لو اشتدت الريح، ولو لم تكن كذلك؛ فهي مجرد تحية عابرة على طريق العُمر.
وإذا سألتوني؛ لماذا الناس تغيّرت إذن؟ وأصبحت الصداقات مثل شُرب فنجان قهوة سريع؟ لقلت لكم: لأن الدُنيا أشغلت الكُل، وأصبح كل شخص يركض وراء لقمة عيشه، أو التزاماته الاجتماعية، ولكن وبالرغم من كل هذا تظل قلوبنا دائماً عطِشة للأصحاب القُدامى.
تقول الدراسات -على ذمة الدارسين- إن وجود صديق مُقرب يقلل من التوتر ويزيد العُمر، لأن الصديق الحقيقي يشاركك الطريق مهما طال، ويخفّف عنك ثقل الأيام مهما ثقلت، ويذكّرك دائماً أنك لست وحيداً في مواجهة الدنيا، ويمنحك طمأنينة وأُنساً لا يُشترى ولا يُقاس.
بعكس بعض الصداقات التي قد تُصيبك (بالضغط والسكر)، وتحمّلك عبئاً فوق أعبائك، وتُقصّر عمرك.
لذا يا أحبتي؛ من كان لديه منكم (صديقاً صدوقاً صادق الوعد منصفاً) فليتمسّك فيه، وأنا ولله الحمد لديّ من الصداقات مالا يُعد، ولكن أغلبهم تحت تصنيف: (صديقاً ثرثاراً سارق الوقت مُنهكاً)، و(صديقاً مُنبهاً موقظ النوم مزعجاً)، والله المُستعان.
خلاصة القول؛ الصداقة زاد، والرفقة عِز، ومن لا صديق له يونسه، ويُشاركه ولا مانع يعزمه، فسوف يعيش طوال حياته وهو (يتعشى مع حزنه).
فالصداقة الحقيقية ليست في الصور الجماعية ولا كثر اللقاءات، بل هي في من يشعر أنك لست بخير، أما بقية الصداقات والعلاقات فهي مثل إشعارات التطبيقات، كثيرة، ومتكررة، ومزعجة، وتختفي عند أول (ضغطة).
بعض الأصدقاء يُطيلون العُمر بالونس، وبعضهم يقصرونه بالثرثرة وكثرة العتاب، لذا انتقوا أصدقاءكم.

An ancient sage said - we do not know his name nor did we live in his time -:
(A friend in times of distress is like a shadow at sunset; he stays with you until the sun sets).
The truth, dear friends, is that friendship is not just a fleeting relationship; friendship is a sacred bond that brings people together (some of them with all of them). It is a realistic mirror that shows you your flaws and may even laugh with you about them. It is an umbrella that protects you when the storm blows and flies with you when the wind intensifies. If it were not so, it would merely be a passing greeting on the road of life.
And if you ask me; why have people changed then? And why have friendships become like a quick cup of coffee? I would say: because the world has occupied everyone, and each person is running after their livelihood or their social commitments. However, despite all this, our hearts always remain thirsty for old friends.
Studies - according to scholars - say that having a close friend reduces stress and increases lifespan, because a true friend shares the journey with you no matter how long it is, lightens the burden of days no matter how heavy they are, reminds you that you are not alone in facing the world, and gives you a sense of peace and companionship that cannot be bought or measured.
In contrast to some friendships that may cause you (stress and diabetes), burden you with more than you can bear, and shorten your life.
So, my dear ones; whoever among you has (a sincere, honest, fair friend) should hold on to them. And I, thank God, have friendships that are countless, but most of them fall under the category of: (a talkative friend who steals time and exhausts you), and (a friend who awakens you from sleep and is annoying), and God is the helper.
In summary; friendship is sustenance, and companionship is honor. Whoever has no friend to keep them company, share with them, and invite them, will live their life (dining with their sorrow).
True friendship is not in group photos or frequent meetings, but in someone who feels that you are not okay. As for the rest of the friendships and relationships, they are like app notifications: numerous, repetitive, annoying, and disappear at the first (tap).
Some friends prolong life with companionship, while others shorten it with chatter and excessive reproach, so choose your friends wisely.
(On a side note):
“A copy without a greeting; for all my friends who are not true friends.”
