" In this world when you chance to come upon a true friend; from time to time consider it a Blessing!" a True-ism
When you find such a friend, cherish them and learn to care!
The Four Feathers is a 1902 adventure novel by British writer A.E.W. Mason that has inspired many films of the same title. We will consider the 2002 film version:
By 1884 over a quarter of the earth's surface had been conquered by the British Army. There was no greater honor for a young man than to fight for Queen and Country.
Those that refused the call to arms brought shame and humiliation on their friends and families...
Title Card: The Symbol of their disgrace was the white feather of cowardice...
This is a movie based upon the conflict in Sudan; between the British Army who are putting down a Islamic Jihad...
Of the great friends we chance to meet; one such example is found in the character of Abou Fatma, an African who befriends the Coward character Harry, in the film

" The Four Fathers" - 2002...
Abou Fatma: Are you a deserter?
Harry Faversham: Something like that. I was sent to fight and I ran away.
Abou Fatma: Why?
Harry Faversham: Why? I just... There are many reasons why. Mostly I was afraid.
Abou Fatma: [laughs] I found you halfdead crossing the desert alone. And you say you are afraid?
Harry Faversham: There's a different kind of fear. Why are you protecting me?
Abou Fatma: Because God put you in my pathway. I have no choice.
Harry Faversham: God? For An Englishman... and a Christian? You must have done something terrible to offend Him.
Abou Fatrma goes on to help and protect Harry, even going to prison with him; always protecting him from the very face of death.... Why because God placed Harry on his pathway of life!
Then later after the Regiment has returned to England, one of Harry's friends, Jack (who had given him a white feather) addresses the assembled Regiment and tells what the real meaning comradeship and the bond of friendship that exist among a band of brothers!
Jack Durrance: Speaking of those who did not return: You may be lost, but you are not forgotten. For those who have traveled far, to fight in foreign lands, know that the soldier's greatest comfort is to have his friends close at hand. In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea for which we fight. Or a flag., or a country! Rather we fight for the man on our left, and we fight for the man on our right. And when armies are scattered and the empires fall away, all that remains is the memory of those precious moments that we spent sided by side, friends to the end! .
These are some examples of true friendship!
