Friend

What is friend?

• Someone that you know and like, and enjoy spending your time with.

I guess everyone i know falls under that category, so i can jolly well say that everyone is my friend.

Nonsense.

So how do you really define friend? Someone whom you have just met yesterday; someone that you met online; the briefest of acquaintances; or even your friend's friend, we will often call them 'friend'.

Too superficial.

The word 'friend' has been used too extensively that it lost its genuine significance. Of course there are several degrees of friendship, but how are you going to classify them? So when it comes to identifying true friends, we often hear stuffs like:

1. True friends share equally one another’s surplus
2. True friends always come to the aid of one another - materially, emotionally and spiritually
3. True friends know that they can rely and trust one another
4. True friends will make every kind of sacrifice to help one another
5. True friends never betray a confidence.
6. True friends defend and protect one another
7. True friends always know where one another is or is going

and many other more...

Honestly, I don't really give a fuck.(i actually copied the 7 points from some webby)

No doubt, those points are absolutely true, i totally agree to them. But in reality, if you ever find a friend that fulfills ALL those points, then that friend is most likely a Friend in Disguise.

Controversy?

Nowadays, we don't actually have friends, those friends were de facto "friends of common interests".

Cruel?

Face the reality.

On the contrary, your best friend may fulfill only 2 or 3 of those points, he may be a brat/jackass/bastard/fucker, but yet, he is still your best friend.

Why?

I believe every friend is special to each individual in an exceptional way. Only you yourself know it , you can feel it. With just a twitch of the eye; a gentle smile or a tap on the shoulder, conveys the message.

True friends are spelled out in the heart.

Not the mouth.

"The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail and not his tongue!"

The next time before i acknowledge someone "friend", i shall think again, maybe he is just an ex-classmate...MAYBE LAAAAAAA!
