फ्रेंडशिप डे: आखिर क्या हैं इस दिन के मायने

फ्रेंडशिप डे यानी दोस्ती का दिन। आप सोचेंगे कि दोस्ती के दिन को लोग इतना महत्त्व क्यूं देते हैं। भारत में तो हर दिन हर शाम लोगों को दोस्तों का साथ मिलता है। दरअसल फ्रेंडशिप डे पश्चिमी सभ्यता की सोच और मांग है, जहां के एकल जीवन में अक्सर दोस्तों का महत्त्व बेहद कम हो जाता है। भारत में तो प्राचीन सभ्यता से ही दोस्ती की कई मिसालें देखने को मिलती हैं। राम जी ने दोस्ती के लिए ही सुग्रीव की मदद की थी, भगवान कृष्ण और सुदामा की दोस्ती की मिसाल तो जमाना आदि काल से देता आ रहा है। पश्चिम की तुलना में भारत में दोस्ती व्यापक पैमाने पर रची-बसी है। यहां समाज में लोग ज्यादा घुलमिल कर रहते हैं।

Poem on Friendship by: H. W. Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

दोस्त.... जो जरूरी हैं आपके लिए

दोस्ती का रिश्ता जीवन के हर मोड़ पर हमें संभालता और संवारता है। दोस्तों की अहमियत हर किसी की जिन्दगी में हर रिश्ते-नाते से बढ़कर होती है। फिर कहा भी तो गया है कि रिश्ते हमें मिलते हैं और दोस्त हम खुद चुनते हैं। अच्छे दोस्त हमारी जिन्दगी संवार सकते हैं तो खराब दोस्त उसे तहस-नहस कर सकते हैं। बचपन से लेकर बड़े होने तक हम ढेरों दोस्त बनाते हैं, जिनमें से कुछ हमारे साथ ताजिंदगी रहते हैं, जिनसे हम अपने सुख-दुख शेयर करते हैं और जरूरत पड़ने पर सलाह भी लेते हैं। दोस्तों की इतनी अहमियत को देखते हुए आपको चाहिए कि जब आप दोस्त बनाएं तो उनमें से कुछ हों खास तरह के दोस्त।
