Individuality
Friendship - 4
Misunderstanding is
a transient phase in friendship

As mentioned earlier, understanding is the baseline of friendship. Friendship which stands on the foundation of understanding is difficult to collapse.

Two friends interwoven in friendship hardly misunderstand each other. I used the word "hardly" because "never" would be an exaggeration. A time does come when misunderstanding crops up, but friends never let the wild grass grow and ruin their so-carefully cultivated garden of friendship. This is the sign and identity of lifelong friendship. A misunderstanding can never stand long in friendship.

In friendship. It so happens that one tends to accept the other as he/she is, with the shortcomings. Even if two friends have different view about a particular topic, they tend to listen to and adjust with other's view point, thus leaving no place for any sort of misunderstanding.

Sometimes misunderstanding helps the friends to come closer. How?
Let's check it out in next chapter. Thus,

Misunderstanding is a transient phase in friendship.
