The hermeneutic proverb talks about the most important feature,And quality of a real 'friend',which is represented by the self-motivation of the respective person,to help its peer even in The worst moment of its life . This is suggested as the noun 'need' has connotations related to necessity ,and alternatively might represent a quite unfavourate moment on someone 's life. In other words ,what the proverb highlights is that a person is considered a true friend ,as long as it prooves it to you ,not only when you have a good time but also when you are going through a bad period ,or you are in a problematic situation . That is the only time you can call someone your 'friend' .
