This is my best poem of Afzal Shauq and I think that friendship is one of the most important things in life. A person should have have many friends, but only one or two to be his best. A best friend must control the heart and mind too.The best way to win hearts is friendly or loving smile as the poet of this poem says.
Friends shouldn't be sad of each others on each single thing, or else they will bored then separated or fight. They should love the bad things in every one of them so that they can correct it or make it better later on.

what about hermits? but yes i agree one should have one or two close friends at most, otherwise they arent really that close of friends. Even Aristotle said in his philosophy, that any person would only have few true close friends, while the rest are what i think he called friends of recreation, and usefulness.
Dear youthful, Wassila, Many have said, that with age there is wisdom. Of that I am a prime example of. Much too complex of details and their reflection. However, Google; Poetry is Therapy / and see that much of all that are written is of 'Human' concern, like Love, security, politics and Faith, etc. An endless topic to be resolved for happiness and contentment in so short a life time. I am not one in need to write and seek readers. However, since you request, and for the poet fledglings who are searching for answers, I will advise most sincerely. 'A Friendly Smile' should Root from ones endeavour, to write and share for one great and immortal purpose, for that of 'Love and Peace on Earth' Solutions are with having feelings of Love, Empathy and Compassion Eventually, Your own 'Self' be your wisest support, all else is mostly subjective, yet welcomed confusion. As for any 'One' being 'Alone and needing friendship to survive? I have learned, to not agree with myself, , wholeheartedly. I had written myself 2 Poems becoming 'Mantras' of sorts many years ago that may allay most all of human solitary trauma as it has for our 'Selves' be Omnipotent and 'One' For your convenience; here's one to share with you all, the other can be found on PH as titled, 'Found, Lost and found' / -- ALONE - with myself if I do not see, another side, a side of me One of mind, of no other kind A friend I find, who's alone in my mind. He or She, speaks to me. 'If I a friend to be, then not alone your side will be, If only you will find the friend in me' Best friends we can be, 'Me and Me', Loneliness, is not finding 'Me' (Self revelation after an unhappy marital friendship dissolving) 1989 Louie Levy
Indeed without friend or friends one's life will be dull and insipid! Smile develops friendship!
A timely important thought conveyed for the well being of one and all and the world on the whole! ! ! ! thanks

'I believ that a person without a friend is a dead one' that's chillin and under those circumstances I'm trying to come back to life. I'd say a piece of me has been dead for some time now, even as others thrive. It is a very bizarre feeling not having human contact with people for days at a time, and not having a friend in the world. I really like this essay and no I don't believe I could imagine a world without war, sad but true.
