Today, in school a girl mentioned me as her friend and on notiving my looks asked me whether if I considered her one. Now the thing is that I believe friendship is a big word and it has demands and with that class-mate my views quite differ. I hesitated for sometime but feeling a bit guilty on the thought I might be hurting her, I said, "Yeah, of course, we are friends." I get this feeling whatever I did was right (logically speaking it might not be but it made me feel okay) but now I wonder whom do you consider a friend? People you meet on nearly daily basis or talk with? People who have been good to you even for once and have never harmed you? People who have never been good to you and yet have never been bad to you and you just know them? (in this case there must be too many!)
What do you think are the demands of friendship? Or are there even any? Is there anything like good, better and best friends or is there just one thing that is friends? No sub-categories?
Do you have many friends or very few?
Now this topic might seem childish but I believe nearly every person in every age group gives importance to this word we call 'friendship' for what's a world without it. I would like to hear your thoughts about it too. Thanks for taking the time to read it all.
