relations

The book by Richard Ingrams titled God’s Apology starts with an interesting statement “Friends are God’s apology for relations”. Some people seem to have a knack of making and remaining friends, while there are some who have difficulty getting along even with a single friend. It goes for the relations also.

If relations and friends are at par, then all the benefits and problems associated with relations are applicable to friendship also. Relations are alive no matter how bitter the vibes are, but same does not goes for friends.
