In the daily life, we have to deal with the four aspects such as economic, political, educational and social affairs. Here I wish to say about social affair out of these four aspects. In the world, there are different various types of people and also their mind. Everywhere, it is so easy to make a friend with one another but not easy to know an individual mind, to understand. Therefore, it is necessary for all of us to have ethical moralities with each other and to observe one’s dignity on friend to friend. In the Anguttara Nikaya also, Our Lord Buddha disclosed about moralities of a good friend. There are seven qualities of a good friend as follow.
1. He gives what is hard to give
2. He does what is hard to do
3. He endures what is hard to endure
4. He reveals his secrets to you
5. He keeps your secrets
6. When misfortunes strike, he doesn't abandon you
7. When you're down and out, he doesn't look down on you
(From Anguttara Nikaya of the Lord Buddha 7.35)
