friends?

sometimes i wonder what are 'friends' ? well lets check the dictionary on that, and it says:

1.A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
2.A person whom one knows;an acquaintance.
3.A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
4.One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement: friends of the clean air movement.
5.Friend A member of the Society of Friends; a Quaker.
6.FRIEND - Flow Regimes from International Experiments and Network Data

but then again these are probably just literal definations... but hey take nothing away from quakers man ...

is having a friend good ? or are you better off with none ? well of course most people would opt for the former, but as the grass is always greener on the otherside, its really just a matter of opinion..

mm well just to let you know heres a little history on the word 'friend' :

Word History: A friend is a lover, literally. The relationship between Latin amcus “friend” and am “I love” is clear, as is the relationship between Greek philos “friend” and phile “I love.” In English, though, we have to go back a millennium before we see the verb related to friend. At that time, frond, the Old English word for “friend,” was simply the present participle of the verb fron, “to love.” The Germanic root behind this verb is *fr-, which meant “to like, love, be friendly to.” Closely linked to these concepts is that of “peace,” and in fact Germanic made a noun from this root, *frithu-, meaning exactly that. Ultimately descended from this noun are the personal names Frederick, “peaceful ruler,” and Siegfried, ”victory peace.” The root also shows up in the name of the Germanic deity Frigg, the goddess of love, who lives on today in the word Friday, “day of Frigg,” from an ancient translation of Latin Veneris dis, “day of Venus.”

yea its a bit wordy, but if you read fast enough you'll get 'i love greek philo files' go figure..

a 'friend' can also mean one who entertains for another such sentiments of esteem, respect, and affection that he seeks his society aud welfare; a wellwisher; an intimate associate; sometimes, an attendant...

so basically a friend is suppose to be like a all-in-one greek pedophile, and more often than not, a friend can sometimes fail in one or more aspect.

and yes of course arguements weill arise... sometimes you 'give and take', by holding back ur witty retorts, to prevent prolong arguements . But as we are only human, more often than not we let the wrong things come outta our mouth.. and you get the drift..

well leaving you with some of my thoughts, i wonder do your friends restrict your rights on the freedom of dam speech ? do they really accept you for who are ? its like to them its always ok if others do it, but just not you... i wonder why...

and when you try to retaliate its always like 'no u listen to me, no YOU listen to me' etc etc.. its like your deprieved of all your rights and you have no god dam right to get piss, like you have to get a bloody license to get angry huh...down right irritating..and again i sometimes wonder why they behave like this.. its like they got periods or something..
