Friends

 Do you really need friends? Some would say not at all. Some would say for sure for sure. Well let’s take a little closer look at friends.

 A friend can be there to console you when you are down. Or be there to share in the glory when you succeed also a friend can be there if you need to borrow something or just need someone to talk to.

 Your friend can be the best man in your wedding or the one lending an ear when you get a divorce. A friend can be your drinking buddy or your ride to the AA meeting. A friend can loan you their car to go to that first job interview or be there to help when the layoff notice arrives.

 No matter what you and your friend have to go through you always know that they are there for you through and through.  This is the true definition of a friend.

 Now on the other hand in most cases it is just a word that holds no meaning at all. When you are down and really need someone one, depending on the situation this so called friend may stab you in the back. When you try to share your successions with your friend it may do nothing but sound like gloating and the so called friend shows animosity towards you.

 Not only is he the best man at your wedding he is hitting on your wife to be to try to make her his catch of the day.  This friend in a lot of cases is the cause of the divorce you and your spouse are going through. Instead of offering you a ride when you have had one too many drinks he lets you drive away then reports you drinking and driving. Your friend can throw you under the bus at your job to make them look good.

 Now through all the good comments and negative comments above I would have to say the good outweighs the bad and yes it is good to have friends. It is a very lonely world without having anyone to talk to or turn to in good times and bad. So, remember to not be afraid to be a friend. A true friend to someone because true friendships can last a lifetime and you will find that  at some point in your life if you do not have anyone to turn to things just do not work as smoothly as they do when you have that loyal friend that you can turn to  too give or receive advise. We all need someone and to pretend we don’t is just downright foolish.

 Somewhere out there right now it could be the person to the left of you or the person to the right of you that could turn out to be a very good friend to you if you would just give them half a chance.
