"the emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends; a relationship between friends"
I think this definition is flawed and incomplete. Friendship is so much more than a relationship or a conduct. Friendship is so many wonderful things.
Friendship is support. It is showing up when it counts and going to watch lacrosse games, piano recitals, choir and band concerts, plays, shows, and performances of all kinds. It is giving a pal support in good times and bad and cheering them on in all their endeavors.
Friendship is eating together. Seriously, there is no greater time than sharing a good meal with someone you love. Food is such a cultural gem and is always bringing people together. And having common favorites (for example: Diet Coke)? That pretty much forms an unbreakable bond. That common love for some food (or drink) brings friends together and it's just really great.
Friendship is having common interests. It is loving activities, movies, games, songs, and places, all together. Common interests bring us all together and allow us to bond over something as simple as a television show or a song.
Friendship is silliness. It is the refusal to always take each other seriously, because that's just no fun. Friendship is about laughing so hard you pee or cry or roll on the ground-- real knee-slapping laughter. It's about jokes and fun and craziness.
