Mutualism is the relation between two different species of organisms that are interdependent; each gains benefits from the other.Below are some examples:
The flower provides nectar to the Hummingbird meanwhile the Hummingbird helps in pollination.
The lichen consists of fungus and algae. Fungus provides shelter meanwhile algae provides food. They cannot survive without each other.
On the earth, mutualism is not only occurred between animal-animal or animal-plant, but it also occurs among human being. As the saying goes: "No man is an island". Thus we cannot deny that the human are not interdependent.
Lets begin with the human relation - friendship. What is the fundamental thing that makes two people become loyal friends. It is their trait.
For example, you will see two best friends always be together no matter where they go. Have you ever wonder why they are so devoted to each other? It is because they have common interests, I.e. they have same favourite clothes, same hobby etc.
If I were asked to choose a word to describe friendship, I would say "selfish". If you do not have something that is valuable to a person, he/she can never be your friend. They are only acquaintance.
What do we need to maintain a friendship? Of course, we need to complement each other. If only one side offer, and the other side do nothing, I am sure the friendship is going to collapse sooner or later.
