Frienemies

Friends!!, how many of us have them? Hopefully the lot of you. Well, lets reassess the actual meaning of that title you deem those worthy. Friendship is defined as "A person whom one knows, likes, & trusts.". Well it seems most have decided to skew that definition in a matter that benefits them alone. Friendships are supposed to be the secondary catalyst of emotional stability after family. Those that are trusted enough to be called "friend" are now armed with an arsenal of secrets supposed to be kept under wraps.

A friendship that takes a turn for the worst could be the difference between your recovery, & their revenge. For whatever the reason that caused the decay of the friendship, there are some that could take the action of destroying the image you portray. Everybody talks, but the question is, "do they know when to shut up?". They may slander your name & spew verbal attacks based on your appearance but when it gets personal i guess that's when it gets too much right? This should not be a problem if you hold your tongue & keep a close eye on those whom you share intimate secrets with.

Compare & contrast "friends" & "acquaintances". Acquaintances are not worth any emotional strain so keep them at a distance. Shake hands, hug, & keep it moving. The problem is most people want to acquire clout so bad they consider everyone a "friend". That is where your whole life is on everybody's tongue. Reassess your life people, & cut out the stained fabric. Not everyone should be your friend. Personally, i can count my friends in one hand.
