What exactly are friends?
This is a question I always ask myself.
What is a true friend?
Another question.
What makes a true friend?
Another question.
The amount of questions never end...
In the dictionary, I found out the meanings of the word 'friend' and I picked a few that are really relevant.
1) a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
2) a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile
3) A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. 4) A person whom one knows; an acquaintance. 5) A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
So if that is what the dictionary says... I better believe it...
There are five reasons there...
and I think I am going to use them as guidelines for my post.
If a friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard, it somehow means that friends respect each other...
But what does respect really mean?
Does it mean making up funny names to irritate your friends?
Does it mean using your friend for one of your schemes?
If a friend is a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile, it somehow means that friends side with friends...
Does it mean that your frind gets punched and you punch the person who punch him?
Does it mean that if your friend does a wrong thing and you side with him when he gets caught?
If a friend is a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts, it somehow means that friends believe whatever their friends say...
Does it mean that friends won't tell lies?
Does it mean that friends will know what you are thinking about?
If a friend is a person whom one knows; an acquaintance, it somehow means that they both know each other...
Does it mean that friends will blurt out all their secrets to you?
Does it mean that friends won't keep you in the dark?
If a friend is a person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade, it somehow means that they will always help you...
Does it mean that your friend will not leave you to side by another person?
Does it mean that your friend will not run away when you are in need?
If friends are really that bad, that what are friends really for?
You can see lots of people in this world that would like to be your friend...
and none of them would be perfect for anyone...
If you can accept them for who they are, that is good...
But if you expect them to be perfect... tough luck...
So what are true friends?
To me...
true friends MUST NOT be perfect...
True friends are friends that will go against you...
tell you lies...
run away from you when there is trouble...
Just be friends with you because they can gain something from you... just like a parasite
Keep you in the dark...
Make fun of you...
Why? Are true friends really that bad?
Yes, they should be...
friends don't last forever...
A true friend is one who can stick to you for the longest time...
A friend who thinks that you are easy to bully, that they can gain something from you and can make fun of you forever...
will automatically stick on to you for the longest...
What people do not need is actually a true friend...
That is why people say that they have a best friend...
not a true friend.
A best friend means that the person is a friend...
but an extraordinary one...
the one that had never let you down before...
To you...
He or she is perfect...
although nobody is perfect...
That is when you know that you had found your best friend...
I agree...
Friends are the best thing in this world...
nothing can be as good as them...
even your families...
You will hope to see your friends everyday...
just like how you see your family members one-third of the day...
That is why friends are more important...
when you want more time to spend with a certain person...
then you will regard him or her the most important person.
It is just like when one of your grandparents is on the verge of death...
that will be when you start worrying so much...
will wish that you had more time to spend with him or her...
then cry...
It is all about time...
when you have a little time left...
you wished you had more...
If you have friends right now and you are sure you are going to see less of them soon...
try to spend more time with them...
lest on the day when you all part...
tears start rolling down your cheeks...
and you wished you had more time...
Treasure time...
Treasure your families...
Most important...
Treasure your friends... =)
