What Is Friendship?

What does friendship actually mean?


Friend - (Noun): 1. A person who knows, likes, and trusts, someone else.
2. A member of The Society of Friends: Quaker.

But...here is the real life defintion of friendship....

Friend : One who is in complete trust of someone, and would help them no matter the cost. Right 
or wrong, and will fight tooth and nail for someone. Someone who will be honest, and tell you 
their opinions on different matters, even through love, and hardship, they will never let you 
down and will always be there. Someone who will serve as a crutch when you fall, and lift you 
back up. Someone who will lend an ear so you can vent your anger, and someone who will not 
run from you when you make changes in your life. Someone who will always stand up for you 
when you can not, or will not. Some one who will show that they actually care what you do with 
your life and will support you no matter what. Those are your true friends. Those are the people 
that actually care, and even though the lines may be blurred at times, you will see your true 
friends when something dramatic happens in your life. They will always be there!
