What is a Friend?

What is a friend? What are they supposed to do? I believe that a friend is someone who will be there in some of your toughest times. A friend will tell you when you are being an ass or you look like one. A friend is a person who tells you about the green crap stuck between your teeth or that you have booger about ready to fly out of your nose. Friends are rare. Acquaintances are plentiful, but friends are few and far between. There are only so many that you can count on to get your back or to lend a shoulder to cry on. Friends help you to be a better person and teach you to let loose. Mine have anyway. One thing I know my friends would never do is stab me in the back after I put a lot of hard work and effort into something for both of us. I have recently run across two people who have done this and I have to say how disappointed I am in them. How could you toss your friend aside like a dead fish. It's cold, disrespectful and ruthless. How can you disregard all the things your friend wasn't able to do and all the things they did? How was it so easy for you to be so blind to your friends needs and timing? How can you be so greedy? In this particular case, I am an outsider looking in and I am hurt by what I am hearing and seeing. I am hurt even more knowing that whatever it is you are doing is more important that losing a friend who would do anything for you and a friend who put forth and idea and a ton of effort only to see it ripped out from under them while the two so-called friends that were trusted run away with all the glory. Maybe you will come to your senses and see what you have done and you will put aside your differences, but if not . . . well if not then I hope that what goes around comes around and everything you have done falls apart without your friend. Harsh I know, but no more harsh than what you have done.
