Dr. Daisaku Ikeda always emphasizes on the greatness of friendship. He builds great bridges across the world since he was young. He truly cherish each encounter. This is why he is truly a great man, acknowledged worldwide as a prominent figure.
Friendship is an intangible tie between two person. None of us can exist in isolation. Our lives and existence are supported by others in seen and unseen ways. To be aware of these connections, to feel appreciation for them, and to strive to give something back to society in a spirit of gratitude is the proper way for human beings to live.
A genuine friendship is not about how much I can gain from you for what I have done. It is a pure contribution without any thought of gain. When you feel the joy of having such a person as your friend, you truly appreciate and respect that person.
Friendship is not about imposing your superiority and control over someone. When you are doing so, you are actually destroying the seed of happiness. What is the point of building your happiness over someone's else suffering? At the end of the day, you will not feel any happy.
Heart is what matters. Be the master of your mind (heart). Do not let yourself to be controlled by your thought. Get yourself to understand, why do people feel so happy with one another, and you don't. Do not put the blame on the others when you know you are at fault.
Think.
