On Friendship

              A few days ago, someone emailed this to me and I decided to publish it here (although I am one of those who rather experience friendship rather than talk about it) because recent events around me forced me to think about this matter not necessarily for myself (for I am secure with the few relationships I have) but for others who are being offered the hand of friendship and are tempted to accept it because they are thinking that they have been abandoned and somewhat betrayed by real friends.

FAKE FRIENDS/REAL FRIENDS

FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
REAL FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.

FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. & Mrs.
REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents Dad & Mom. 

FAKE FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong
R EAL FRIENDS: Would sit next to you saying 'Dawg ... we screwed up... but that was fun!' 

FAKE FRIENDS: never seen you cry
REAL FRIENDS: cry with you 

FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back
REAL FRIENDS: keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours 

FAKE FRIENDS: know a few things about you
REAL FRIENDS: Could write a book about you with direct quotes from you 

FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing
REAL FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds butt that left you 

FAKE FRIENDS: Would knock on your front door
REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say 'I'M HOME!' 

FAKE FRIENDS: Are for awhile
REAL FRIENDS: Are for life 

FAKE FRIENDS: will talk bad to the person who talks bad about you.
REAL FRIENDS: Will knock the person out that talked bad about you 

FAKE FRIENDS: Would ignore this
REAL FRIENDS: Will send this to all their real friends and hope to get it back! 

If you were killed today, I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to come to you funeral, because I'd be in jail for killing the person who did it. 

Real friends would want to let you know that they love you to death & think you are **AMAZING**
