“Kuthinathu nanbana irunthalum, sethalum sollakuudathu”
(If it is your friend who has stabbed you, you should NOT reveal it to anyone even if you die)
The above dialogue is the most impressive one which I have heard in recent times. It occurs in the climax of the movie Sundarapandian. The movie revolves around three best friends who turn into worst enemies because of a girl whom they all love, where the two friends back-stab their best friend for his close proximity to the female lead.
This dialogue opened my thoughts on issue of trust among various relationships in this confusing world. The best relationship in this world is that of friends, as we personally choose them to be a part of our wonderful lives. But as it often occurs, these chosen friends of ours do back-stab us sometimes.
The world is an ever changing place where the fortunes of individuals keep varying over time. Unfortunately, the basic nature of an individual also changes with time which results in them looking at relationships in a different light at different points of time. Another factor in the change in the relationship could be addition of another person in the straight-line relationship between two people as more people always spoil the broth.
With so much negative information, could there still be the light at the end of the tunnel?Definitely, would be an eventual or more an ideal answer. Friendship is based on trust which can be maintained by the following rules.
- Money is just a tool to lead our lives. It should never cause any friction between two good friends.
- Share your concern directly with your friend if you have any issues with him/her. Sharing any critical information with a third person will only spoil the relationship as we never know how the third person would use the information.
- “Bad people can never turn into good one while the corollary may not be entirely untrue”. If we have made a wrong choice in our selection of friends, it just best to leave and carry on with our lives. However, if we do know that our chosen friend is good at heart and may have said or done something in jest, we should definitely wait for them to come back to us.
All said and done, every minute of our golden life in precious and it is important for us to choose the people who understand us completely. With the song “Mustafa.. Mustafa..” still ringing in my ears, I truly wish all my best friends stay with me in my journey of LIFE!!
