someone with whom you feel comfortable and can easily share your thoughts and feelings. You do
not have to think twice when you are with your friends. A true friend loves you unconditionally,
understands you, but never judges you and always tries to support you and give you good advice.
A true friend is one will always be there when you need someone. He will leave all his important
works but will never leave you alone, especially in your difficult times. That is why it is said "a
friend in need is a friend indeed". Difficult times are the best time to realize who your true friends
are. Blessed are the souls who have true friends. It does not matter how many friends you have,
what matters is how many true friends you have. Friends show us how to live a life in a different
way; they are the ones who can change our viewpoints for good. There is no growth of the person
without any friend. It's essential to have a friend to understand life.

(960-1279), it had become a common ceremonial activity in festivals like Chinese New Year.
