Proverbs have always liked people. They are filled with deep meaning and help people realize the meaning of many things. It does not matter if it's a parable about friendship or a parable about the meaning of life, the main thing is that this type of stories has always been used, enjoyed and will be in demand among people for many reasons.
The parable is a small story, having a largemeaning. Indeed, it is worth listening to it, as soon as you start thinking about many things that you did not really care about before. Most often, parables are philosophical, profound, compelling to understand the nature of something that previously seemed so simple and obvious.
The parable of friendship is one of the branches, of which there are many. However, as in any direction, be it cinema or literature. Some will be interested in the parable of friendship, others about love, the third about the meaning of life, the fourth about something else. And everything is interesting in its own way, everything is good in its own way, but we are interested in the first option.
Most often, the parables of friendship are short, becausemany words are not necessary to convey a certain message to the reader, however, less often, but there are also more detailed stories that do not fit even on one page. However, short-lived works are in great demand among the people, because some do not like to read much (which, of course, is sad, but that's not the point), and others do not have time to waste it, so the parables of friendship will always be short in a larger number and honor, than voluminous. But everything is important and necessary.
Often a person has close people. And more often than not they are not any, but friends, because they are the ones who can support a person in a difficult moment, rejoice with him in happy moments and listen to anything.
Proverbs about friendship and friends are good because theylet us understand how important people are in people's lives, what a huge role they play. It just so happened that we can not be alone. Whatever a person may say, no matter how he convinces himself and others, that he loves solitude, and no one needs him, all this is complete nonsense, which he wants to hide behind in an attempt to seem stronger than he really is. True singles who are able to spend alone all their lives alone with themselves and get pleasure from such an existence are few.
"Why did not you say after the death of your parents, children and your wife," the astonished king asks, later calling the prince to him, "and after the death of a friend, he was so upset?"
"The parents were already old," replies the prince,- soon and so die. It's not hard to find a new wife, she will be able to give birth to children. But find a friend - oh, how difficult. Many years to spend it is necessary to find a real, loyal friend. Therefore, I mourned only him.
Meaning
This parable is about friendship, and that says it all. Yes, it does not show what kind of person was killed, but at least the fact that only his death mourned the prince, makes it clear that the friend was really good. Everyone needs to meet in the life of such a person who can be called close.
Everyone knows this expression. However, not everyone is aware that there are parables that convey a similar meaning to the reader. Indeed, the dog from time immemorial was considered the most loyal friend, at least if we compare it with a proud cat, for example. No, this does not mean that the latter is bad, each pet in its own way is good and beautiful. Nevertheless, below is a parable about the friendship of man and dog.
Once the drunkard ran out of money, and to drinkI wanted unbearably. The cat immediately jumped to the owner and say, they say: "Sell me, get money, buy a drink, and I like your best friend run away from the customer, and I return to you."
Alkash sold the cat, bought a drink, returnedhome to pump themselves with alcohol, and there he meets a dog. And not anyhow as meets, but with barking, from which a man drops a bottle and smashes it, pouring a strong drink. The drunkard was assaulted, he beat the dog, and she did not even try to run away and did not resist at all, only said:
- Bey, master, beat, just do not drink.
At this time the cat came. She looked arrogantly at the dog and again called the owner to the market, repeat the previous fraud. Soon the drunkard returned with a new bottle. And he had already opened it to drink his beloved's alcohol, as the dog again prevented him. So she barked and growled, that the vessel with alcohol involuntarily slipped out of her hands a second time. An angry man became more angry than before, with a new force began to pound his dog and say: "I'll kill you!"
"Kill, master," the pet says humbly to him, "kill, do not drink!"
Suddenly it came to the drunkard, what's the matter. He realized who the friend was. And he began to apologize to the dog, to stroke her and embrace her. And the cat, which soon appeared, the man again sold, though, this time so far that she could not find the way home already.
The meaning of the parable
The bottom line is that the dog did not want its masterspoiled his health, because nothing good alcohol does not. The cat, in turn, wanted only to show the owner how good she was, they say, helping him. The man understood this. Let not immediately, but still understand.
Moreover, children are the most sincere friends. After a person grows up, sometimes he has to smile and "make friends" with the right people, for example, at work. This is called hypocrisy, which is to hide, but the fact remains: children, naive little children who do not care about the social status of their peers (at least for the time being) like (in a friendly context) each other truly, sincerely . This is their main advantage. Unfortunately, not everyone can keep this piece of honesty in the soul.
Any parable about friendship has a meaning in itself,how important other people are in our lives. And the sooner a person understands this, the sooner he finds himself a real friend. And to do it better at a young age, to give friendship to insist, because it, like wine, grows stronger every year and becomes "tastier".
