Another Quotation

It's deep in the meaning...
' "Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.'
-Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)-

This quotation was just like something blazing at my eyes when I read that. I've never found a friend who knows the meaning of such a word "stay" in the real meaning of friendship. In my opinion, the meaning of stay is not just simply being off from any activities and keep static in case of waiting for a friend while it's not predictable whether he/she is sincere in doing such thing or not. It does mean deeper than that, that a friend will lay aside all his thought and pride and try to understand his/her friend from another point of view and be ready to let him/herself to be involved in his/her friend's life despite all their rejection in such a situation. So, the meaning of the sentence "I will stay here for you," is not just simply I will wait for you until you finish. It requires an action of helping the person (the object of this talk) by going through his/her life for a while and solve the problem for him/her. It will be easy if you place this thing as a new paradigm in your mind that staying for someone means sacrificing for him/her. There's a story in the bible which stated the highest level of such a condition exacerbated above that was said by Jesus, saying (redirected) that a friend's love to his friend will be perfect through the sacrificing of life. So, friendship becomes perfect when the both of them are ready to sacrifice their life for their companion.
Overall, meditate on it and you will find another perspective of friendship in your life. Still it's difficult for me to reach that level of friendship too, but I'm trying hard to keep that in mind. Enjoy your life, Bhro!!!
