True friends remain close forever no matter what. That's the most important thing, not the time you spend together. |
There's no such thing as 'true friend', Humans by nature are born to focus on themselves. Sooner or later 2 people's interest will conflict with their 'friendship'. Sure, it's always an awesome story to tell when you'v had a friend for 2343 years, but in truth. Most people grow apart. |
And it's so great when those different interests don't interfere with friendship. True friends exist and i think it is sad not to think that way, maybe we born with the tendence to focus on ourselves ... but i think we can change that and actually a lot of people does it. and like someone aleady said ... friendship is not defined by the time spent together ... but for the love that exists between people |
Of course we do tend to overlook/overcome our differences for the sake of keeping a friendship. But I don't believe there is such thing as "true friends" that will stay together no-matter-what. Cynical? Maybe, but I see myself as a realist. And as a realist, I won't have to bear as much emotional baggage this way. |
I may have mistyped my thoughts. By saying "true friends remain close together forever" I didn't mean friends you call over for pizza and football or just share your secrets with. I was talking about soul mates, someone you'd gladly give your life for even if you knew he / she wouldn't do the same. If you're cynical then I'm romantic but we're probably both wrong...
