Random Thought 20090228 - Proposal Aftermath

One of my lady friend drop me a line one morning, we were talking about my Proposal, and she said one thing the caught my attention. She said:

'From the photos at your house, you have good friends standing by you.'

I took a good look again at the photos I posted recently. Then I have this random thought. At our age and as the City grow bigger everyday, things around us are only getting more and more complicated. Grey Areas are developing aggressively everyday in a most creative way than you can imagine. It is only fair to say, it is seriously not easy to find true friends around us, especially at our age.

I am so f**king lucky that I have a bunch of friends who we share the same passion, and because of that, we almost took for granted (I did at least) the trust and pleasure we have been enjoying.

I felt fulfilling that we can wake up every morning smelling the freshness of the air, meeting familier people we feel comfortable with and doing things that we love to do. If we just share this with everyone everyday, the society can be a better place I guess?

As usual, just a random thought. haha..

Friendship is the bigger statement. Lots of people are lovers but aren't friends. Lots of people are relatives and aren't friends. Lots of people work together who aren't friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesn't make them a friend.

Friendship is not about always being nice, or agreeable, far from it. A friend will tell you when he or she thinks you're full of shit, but always casts it that way, never as a statement of fact. It's a fine but important distinction. If I say "you're full of shit" to a friend, it must be understood that this is my opinion only.

We're relatively casual about the word, but sometimes things happen that take the casualness out of it. I had a lot of time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you need help, sorry, that's not friendship. If their attitude is "for better or worse," if they stick by you through thick and thin, that's when you can tell it's friendship. I do have some friends, but not as many as I thought.

a random thought. :)
