Friends???

Friends...that is what people like to call themselves. Of course everyone knows the definition of a friend.." one who stays with you in cheer and tear....bla bla bla..." and of course everyone boasts of being one who does that. But in the end it all boils down to the same thing. "I have one thing which you dont...so obviously you dont know what you want in life while I always did..." even though the same person for the same thing may be feeling exactly the same way just two days back as you are feeling today. Arre if you dont know how to make a person feel more comfortable...then at least dont worsen the situation for him. At least, calling yourself a friend, this much you can do. But what does a friend in despair...in need of a shoulder to cry upon get? He gets another person talking in the same way as the rest of the human race in exactly the same tone making it clear ki in this world, every man is for himself. Friends are there only till the time they are required by you. Least bothered about what they may be feeling or may feel if you talk in the way you want to.

This is the definition of a "friend" as should be told to children. After all schools are supposed to make children fit to live in this world and this is one essential thing that has to be learned....or maybe this IS taught in school...i may have missed that class
