Friendship is essential to living a fulfilling life. To find a good friend is like finding buried treasure at the bottom of the ocean. Or a needle in a haystack. Many of us‚ like Amir‚ take friendship for granted. We don’t realize what we have until it’s too late. The common characteristics of a “perfect friend” is to be loyal‚ kind‚ honest‚ and supportive.

This gives the impression that Afghanistan is a highly racist place
