I am a member here and MySpace and numerous others spots on the web that people can come together and chat and get to know each other. But the other day I had a person pose a question that got me thinking. Ops did she screw up so I just had to let my mind explore this issue and have entered that question in my book. Yes I am and have been developing chapters and combining them into a book which I hope to one day gets published. But that is another story.
This person whom I had asked via the net to join my friends list posed this question to me, "WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE MY FRIND?" I was taken back a bit and had never been asked that question. So I ask you people even the ones that have so graciously joined my friend’s network and rated me (I hope honestly) why do you pick me to be your friend? Why do you pick anyone to be your friend? What does a friend mean to you? What is friendship to you?
I know most don’t care for or even listen to country music but Tracy Lawrence has a song out that states to the heart of it what a friend is. Take the time to listen to it "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" and take the time to reflect and ask yourself are you a friend a true friend? Would you drop what you are doing and unselfishly support and assist another with no hidden agenda? Search your soul and look real deep for the answer. It definitely had me do a bit of soul searching in the matter and I have drawn conclusions to the issue also.
I have lots of friends or so called friends but they are one way friends. Do you know what I mean by that statement? Well a one way friend does for you when you are in need or need help and you have never offered or even asked them if they needed help. This can go in both directions and that is what I refer to as a one way friend. I have stepped out numerous times fro my friends and yet they stand by watch and never once offered to assist me in any way! Are they less of a friend? NO they are a friend and friends have no rating scale to me a friend is a friend no matter what. Once a friend always a friend.
Think about the friend thing there is more and I can go deeper and deeper but let’s stop here and watch the replies. This is just my thoughts on it and there is no right or wrong on a thought.
