FRIENDS

What is a friend? Does everyone really need one? Why? What do friends do? Is everyone a friend? Do you consider everyone REAL friends? Are all friends fair-weathered? Will they be there for you when you need them? Or will they just go with you because you had everything? How do you find yourself REAL friends? How do you know that the ones you go out with, hang-out with, chat everyday with are the REAL ones? Everything's all covered up and are all unveiled. Do you choose your friends? Let's see.........!


I, honestly, have not much friends. Well, that's just me. But, I'm not an isolated person and I want to hang-out with everyone else. I say, I don't only stick to a group of friends. I agree that everyone really needs a friend. Not just one but many. Remember that no man is an island. They say that a friend is someone who helps you out in times of struggle. Some believed that your greatest friend is your greatest foe. When and where do we really find a friend who never gives up on us, never betrays us, and never grows tired of us? Is there such?


I mean there are many kinds of friends. First one are fair-weathered friends. These are people who befriend you because you're rich, or you have something they also want to have or they want you to share or give to them. This type, is not obvious until you lost all your wealth and possessions. You'll notice that before, when you had fame, money, the honors and awards, they were by your side, sharing your taste of glory. But when your fame starts and will soon fade and when you no longer have money or the honors, you'll find them, not even one, one your side. I had this kind of friends as well.


Next kind is the fallacy kind. These people wants to be your friend because you're someone they adore, idolize and want to be like. They were your friends when you were still star and celebrity. But when they topple you off, you're just good as trash! Whether you like it or not, we all have jealousies and their reasons. Everybody covets anyone else and anyone else is being coveted by anybody else as well.


Third kind is the usury friends. Friends who befriends you because they are using you. Say, they really adore your brother but your brother never notices them, there, they make friends with you just to go closer to your bro. When in fact, they never wanted to be your friend after all. Or maybe you've got friends because you're rich, pretty and famous. These parasite friends of yours are social claimers. They want to be friends with you because they also want to be known for being famous , rich and in for the ride!


But there are also friends that are not in these group. There just ordinary people. When you chat with each other, you're so close and you're having so much fun. But then, tomorrow, you'll hear them spilling your secrets and even backbite you. Some encourages you and supports you. They pretend to like you and loyal to you. But in the end, you just learned that they hate you and are jealous of you. Some even influence you to do the bad stuffs and cool stuffs that are the new crazes. Then, you happen to follow because you believed that your friends are good fellows. Poor you!


I can now see that, a friend is indeed a true friend when you'll be struggling, when you feel like giving up and losing hope and you'll find him always by side, ready to be your shoulder, ready to cry, laugh, smile, and fight with you no matter what! Oh, when will we ever find these good, and heaven-sent pal???
