Cake Of Friendship: Defining the importance of friendship is difficult at times, but there’s no denying that the bond of two people who consider themselves best friends is powerful. And there’s no better way to appreciate this bond, than to let your best friend know how much you love them, using some of the best friendship quotes of all time.
Friendships teach us many things in life — to see loss, how to find peace with the people closes to us. Having someone as a best friend is a beautiful experience to cherish.
Psychologically, friends are important because they tend to see you in a way you don’t see yourself. So, they can always see through you. This means they can give you reminders of your strengths and dreams. They can tell you when you’re walking down the wrong path and call you out when you’re being selfish.
Cake Of Friendship: Michelle Flores
Preheat the oven of love
With plenty of secrets and hugs
Mix in giggles and laughs
That make your sides split in half
Bake with the love and care
And all the things you both should share
Decorate with the frosting of trust
This is really a must
Enjoy the cake do not eat it fast
Just like your new friendship make it last.
~’Cake Of Friendship‘ poem by ‘Michelle Flores‘
History of World Friendship Day:
It was back in 2011 that the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) recognised International Friendship Day. The day was proclaimed with the idea that friendship between people, nations and cultures can pose as an inspiration to build bridges between communities.
The resolution emphasises encouraging young people to be the future leaders in community activities, which promotes international understanding and respect for diversity, by involving different cultures.
Significance:
As per the United Nations, the world continues to struggle with issues like human rights abuses, poverty, and others that challenge security, development, social harmony, and peace among the people. International Friendship Day aims to establish strong ties of trust to make sure that together we could eradicate all those factors that threaten a peaceful future.
This initiative is also significant as it walks on the proposal made by UNESCO. The proposal defines the culture of peace as a set of values, behaviours and attitudes so that it could reject violence and prevent conflicts by addressing their root causes.
