We all know the proverb " A Friend in Need is the Friend in Deed". The different interpretations are beautifully explained in the website http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/a-friend-in-need.html
My interpretation is as follows---
It is the old proverb which may not fit into the friendships we have in the social networking arena of the modern world.Finding a true friend indeed is the need of the hour now with the advent of making huge number of friends throughout the globe.If we see the fb account now a days, it has become a friend book account in which we add daily so many pages. On the contrary, getting onto the facebook & other networking sites has also been treated as an addiction & a source of stress according to many research results. We also can see so many fraud cases of people with false identities taking undue advantage of the friendship over these networking sites as most of the countries do not have stringent cyber laws enforced properly to prevent the cyber crimes. Moreover, we get many messages also that it is better to spend with the persons who are around you rather than ignoring them and making friends in the virtual world. Facebook also took precautionary steps to verify the identities of the suspicious people. It also asks the users to add the people, whom we really know personally. Let us use the networking sites for making the true friendship alive and prosper. The technology is in our hands. Let us use it for spreading goodness by making good friends indeed. Thus, the friends with good deeds are needed to be our good friends in the social networking sites...
So a true friend indeed is the friend in need now a days...
Today (1st Sunday of August) is celebrated as friendship day in most of the countries.
