Friends

Friends

Friends, properly defined, possibly can be labelled as simply people that are not blood-related in any direct way whom we know that are usually of our age group. That simply defines what a person needs to be to be a friend, but more importantly, to what degree can a person be as a friend? Friends come in many different and various forms of different classes, be it heritage, physical traits or environment. But when addressing friends, it is never a general term. People always have a hierarchy for friends. How they label it may differ, such as good friends, close friends, nice friends, bad friends, just-know-them-by-chance friends or whatever but for listing purposes, they possibly can be classed into the true friends, artificial friends and simply friends. True friends are people that help you out of a stitch, that are there if you got problems if you're stuck in, while possibly certain will only tend to specific problems, but they still will. They will be there thick and thin, and will know after awhile you for yourself. Those that are artificial are those that hang around you, at first help you when you got a problem, but otherwise if nothing else, try to avoid being allowed to have you as a burden, which is basically just not letting you enter their lives and make it troublesome by allowing your problems to go over to their paths. And after something serious breaks out, they don't seem to be there anymore. Simply, they go with you because by the way the society is built, being with you is deemed worthy, while it usually does not hold true. It's more of having you for the positive effects of having you, but the moment a negative scenario pops in they want to have nothing to deal with you. Simply friends are in fact the minority. Most of our lives comprise of artificial friends, with simply friends filling in the next level and true friends being the rarest. Different people have different luck with people they meet, so they may not follow what that has been said so far. But on a normal context, this will stand true. How can anyone be defined as a true friend? True friends don't arise from being together for years and years, which sadly is a very extremely sad realization to make, nor are they born from an insane amount of coincidences which bring the two together, such as being in the same camp, school or class. They are brought into existence by knowing, and then when something happens, they show their worth, and as time goes on, their worths grows. They continue happening, and this, is what will define a true friend. Someone that can prove their worth to you over primarily by getting you through obstacles many times. Time does not ensure a true friend. Time only ensures that eventually the rotten ones will show their true color. Artificial friends are easy to pick out. They are there when they can make it, but not always there when you can make it. The relationship between you and them will revolve mainly around them, not between the both. But even true friends are mostly artificial friends, just waiting to evolve. People eventually will change, and it is this factor which corrupts the friendship easily. People will want newer friends, which will become short-term true friends, and then newer ones later on. People always want what the society deems worthy, and sometimes, when a person starts bringing negative situations into their lives, they simply break off and find other friends because it is easier. To be able to 100% rely on a friend, is nearly impossible. Time is always present, and the chance for a true friend to break is always there. There is perhaps, no one person who has never been for a single moment an artificial friend, but of course, sometimes true friends mean being an artificial one, then turning back. People will change, and sometimes forced to, but if it is really a true friend, the relationship will never, even if the person himself/herself does. To say, friends are always random, since they do not depend on you to be who they are initially, thus they can never be fully trusted, for humans are the ones with the intellect to be distracted and diverged from what they used to be. People always change, and this sometimes don't categorize them into friends. In fact, for me, friends are always short-term. None has proven possible to even be a true friend for long-term, while many has done so for short-term. It is always a fault that happens somewhere, and a point in time where either cannot give way, and this matter eventually repeats, and this is where something snaps.To maintain good friendship, it is always matters on two things. The density of the presence with the other, and the ability to be beneficial to each other. Other than that, it'd be things I have yet to experience or remember to write it here.

Do I have simply friends? Yes. Do I have true friends? Half a yes. Do I have artificial friends? Yes. Do I have a lot of people to make my friends? Not really. Do a lot of people become my true friends? No. Why? I don't have problems for them to help me through and show me that they are worth something more than the rest to be classified as something of a respectful rank in my multi-tiered hierarchy. I'm hopeless, and so far it's good.
