What are friends for?

Friendship Scraps @ OrkutUncle

There are different form of friendship, some you got because of blood ties or since you had been neighbors or schoolmates or co-workers and there are some you got out of nowhere like friends of friends or someone you bump outside the cafe.

Do you agree with me that friends are useless if you don't receive any benefit from it. Friendship should be beneficial for both parties in one time or another. Beneficial in away that you help each other, you make each other smile or you enlighten each other in times heartaches or trouble.

You love your friend's right? But of course, there are even points in our life that we treat our friends as if they are more important than our family. You spend time laughing, making fun of each other and most of the time pour your hearts to them in those sad episodes. Yup they are the ones who suppose to give you trust, understanding, compassion, empathy and most specially HONESTY.

Friends should be the first to appreciate and console, the first person to defend you as well as the first person to hit you hard in the head and shake you out of lunacy.
