Friendship

What comes to your mind when thinking about friendship and how would you define this term? Well, the fact that I can count whom I consider as true friend with less than 5 fingers would show how deprive I am from the taste of friendship. Sure, I am skeptical towards friendship to the point I even doubt about its existence. You see the thing about being a skeptic is convenience. If you are a skeptic, you do not need to give a damn about what other people say simply because you are a skeptic.

Well, not too long ago I discussed with him about the factors which bond people of different backgrounds together and work on establishing a long-term relationship and it didn’t take me long to come out with an answer. Between couple, it is LOVE that bonds people and this is such a strong bonding entity which withstands all obstacles given the right kind. Of course I am referring to real true love, like the one I share with Chris. I don’t know about other couples but I heard they like to complicate things in relationship which is no good. Okay, and blood for family relationship and I do not see the purpose in elaborating because everybody knows what I mean by that. So what about friendship?

From my perspective, I think it is the fear of loneliness and lack of companionship which compels people to mingle around and start giving a damn about people sitting about them. Abrupt shifts from one social group to another seems to be part of everyday’s live and developing the fear of loneliness is the very reason why you step out of your comfortable zone and start makin friends.
