friends

Its funny how in today’s world when we all need to be pulling together, we all find reason to hate and pull away from each other… What has the term "friendship" come down to nowadays anyways… How do we define a friend, how do we measure our friendship? Do we measure friendship by how much a person does for you? How useful and handy they are to you? I’d say that is a pretty selfish way to define a "friend". Littlest things are enough to rip apart years and years of friendship, and instead of straightening out misunderstandings, we’re left with arguments over who cut who out of their lives first. I’m sick of this… I cant even remember the last time i heard a beautiful story about inseparable friends… Is too much to ask for, to wanna look at love instead of hate… Perhaps we all need to learn to walk in each others shoes more often. Isn't there enough pain and suffering in the world as it is? Can’t we learn to rise above it all…?
