super.bueno Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 What is the first thing that comes to your mind ( mental images ), when you hear the word friendship? What is friendship from your perspective and life experience? Well...I agree with what you ve written, that everything is better with friends, but only if you truly and absolutely enjoy every moment spent with them in other case I would not say so.

dsayers Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 A friend is somebody you mutually care for beyond the generic "human life." Sadly, the word has been undervalued by social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super.bueno Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thats a good one...do you think that ( I hate this stupid phrase ) friends are forever or they all share a common characterstic, which is that they last only for certain amount of time?

Well people don't last forever, so the things they share couldn't. But no, the duration of a friendship is entirely up to the people who share it. If two people are Christians, they have that common thread AND the belief that such a thing is necessary. Were one to reject Christianity, it could very easily be used as a reason by either person to end the friendship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super.bueno Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I know this is one crazy world we are living in, but if this would be the reason to start and to end the relationship ( friendship ), then I guess we are talking about 2 imbecils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsayers Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 How so? If you reject Christianity, you're going to view your friend as somebody who uses irrationale to arrive at violent conclusions. I can't think of a better reason to not be friends with somebody. That's not to say that you wouldn't make an effort to preserve the relationship. But if the friend decides that their culture has more value than rationality plus your friendship, then it's out of your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am stupud but I really didnt get the point , and also alergic on religious matters. As far as it concerns me, you can only consider somebody to be your friend if you went through some mutual struggle. Everything else falls apart as soon as you can say Jack Robinson.
