Friendship, such an insignificant and mild word, yet it yields such an extraordinary bond, holy connection and unconditional love between two human souls. Often being disregarded, it is unknown to many that it is what can be the most life sustaining and death defying human intimacy we would all experience at one point. Three years ago, I was not an advocate of this belief. There was always an unbreakable barrier between society and I, like water and oil, we did not blend. Through friendship, I saw

Aristotle on Friendship (From the Nichomachean Ethics) Now these reasons differ from each other in kind; so, therefore, do the corresponding forms of love and friendship. There are therefore three kinds of friendship, equal in number to the things that are lovable; for with respect to each there is a mutual and recognized love, and those who love each other wish well to each other in that respect in which they love one another. Now those who love each other for their utility do not love each other

Friendship is defined by Philip Zimbardo as a relationship between people characterized by intimacy but not by passion and commitment. Zimbardo uses his reward theory to show us how people get attracted to each other, being it friendship or a relationship. The idea revealed in the reward theory is that attraction is a form of social learning based on social costs and benefits and hence we like those who give us maximum rewards at minimum costs. Zimbardo also introduces concepts like proximity, similarity
