A broken friendship is one which cannot stand the test of time and goes in ruins after some time. True friends are like diamonds which are quite precious and rare while on the other hand, false friends are like autumn leaves found everywhere. A faithful friend is the medicine of life, rightly called our “alter ego”. Adversity is the litmus test of any friendship. In the times of prosperity, friends are plenty, in times of adversity; you won’t even have one out of twenty supporting you. Fair-weather friends desert you in difficult situations and move away from you. The friendship then breaks. Friendship also breaks when a lot of miscommunication creeps in, heated discussions become a part and parcel of the friendship and several differences occur which cannot be resolved. In the words of H.G. Wells, “The path of social advancement is, and must be, strewn with broken friendships.”
