There was a time when relationships were genuine, and there were no expectations. If a student didn't have a pencil, another student would offer one from their pouch. That's where friendships began - helping each other in difficult times. But all of this has disappeared over time. Years pass, and we don't even know if our friends are alive or dead. My point is that we meet new people at every stage of life, and the time we spend with them should be genuine, not based on expectations or self-interest.

In today's era, everyone is consumed by self-interest. The value of relationships is diminishing. Even in a household with four brothers, four walls are built. We showcase charity on social media but can't even bother to ask about the well-being of the elderly neighbor. We prioritize pretence over reality.

In my opinion, the only solution is for us to reflect on ourselves every night and ask: "Did I hurt anyone today? Did I lie to someone or exploit them?" If the answer is yes, then we need to work on self-improvement.

And when we can pass through all these questions positively things, it means our conscience is alive, and now we can nurture relationships. Now we can be friends with someone without any ulterior motive. We can built strong relation we can share somone's sorrow.
