Friends are like a lifeline; they are the first people you turn to when you need a pick-me-up after a hard day at school or work, a breakup, or an acknowledgement of an award. They are always there for you and always have a reason to be there.&nbsp;Friendship is a unique relationship that is defined by affection and without both competitiveness and jealousy. When people witness your progress or achievement, they get joyful. Though we may recognize the spirit of friendship every day, this day is observed on the first Sunday in August each year to honour this priceless bond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-friendship-day-history\">Friendship Day History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Friendship Day has been observed for many years in several nations, but the first Friendship Day was observed in 1958 when it was initially suggested as an International Friendship Day in Paraguay.
