friends

a friend is a person whom one knows, likes, trusts. a friend could be an acquaintance, a comrade, one who could sympathize with or patronizes. the word history search i came up with defines a friend as a lover, literally. going back a millennium, the old english word friend was simply the present participle of the verb fréon, “to love.”

i am glad i have a healthy circle of friends who "friend" me.

i have had some lousy experiences this past year with people who aren't so friendly or wish not to "friend" me anymore. a good friend of many years and i had a disagreement earlier this year. when confronted by another friend who thought he might know me, he answer plainly "ahh.. dont know him that well, but his works are not that great". well, he is damn right, he is not a friend anymore.

forget it, give him a call. kiss and make up already. people tell me. well, for the record, i think he said some pretty nasty stuff and i think people don't forget about things like that move on without any reaction. i decided that i could no longer befriend him. i don't befriend hypocrites.

thankfully, the world is kind enough to have kinder people. true friends. friends who say what they do, and do what they say. and yes i am very thankful for their existence in my life. many i have encounter of late just like to promise but could never deliver.

kiss and make up already, i am letting all this out of my system and yes life goes on.
