In your whole life, you make a lot of friends like friends in school, friends in the neighborhood, friends in games, friends in the office, and many more. But in all these friends you see that only 1 or 2 friends understand you more and accept you the way you are. They love you with all your imperfections and never complain about that. Those 1 or 2 friends are your best friends. Having a best friend who loves you and be there for you through thick and thin is no less than a blessing. Having arguments in friendship is normal just like in every relationship but how quickly you sort things out tells you the strength of your relationship.
