Summary

This quote suggests that true friendship is revealed and affirmed during difficult times, rather than during periods of prosperity. It implies that when things are going well, many people may surround and be friendly towards someone, but it is in times of trouble or adversity where real friends separate themselves from superficial or fair-weather friends. The quote encourages valuing and recognizing those who stand by and support you through hardship, as they are the ones who truly embody the essence of genuine friendship.
