Friendship - 20
Every single thing in true friendships goes parallel

"The best friendships do not require that anyone keeps the upper hand."

This is very important proverb to be taken note of� by every friend.
As mentioned in earlier chapters, friendship is a mutual relationship. It's give and take� give your emotions� take your friend's! Many more gives and takes! That's not the point I want to discuss.

It is very essential to treat your friend as� well� as you treat yourself�or may be even more! But that does not account to� your friend having an upper hand on you� in best or according to my way� in true friendships this feeling does not arise at all.

You learn from your friend and your friend learns from you.
You help your friend and your friend helps you.

I feel that the friend who keeps an upper hand on his/her friend is not a friend at all.
Even if you are more than the age of your friend� if you are a friend you can also take a slap from your friend, if you can slap him.

Thus -
Age is not a distinct feature in friendship. Also, every single thing in true friendships goes parallel. Equal ups and equal downs!
