Friends?

I’ve been wondering lately, do friends really exist or have we finally completely and utterly destroyed all meaning to that term? I mean what does that word mean to you? Someone you can use? Someone who’s there whenever you need something? Someone you have complete control over?

Or is it just someone you can share your experiences with? Someone you can have a good time with? Someone who stands by you no matter how tough things get?

Seriously, just like everything else in this age that we live in, friends have become obsolete, something that holds us back, an obstacle to a better future, just one more rock that we have to step over to get where/what we want…

I mean, I’ve seen people who’ve known each other for years, only to admit that neither likes the other and that the only reason they’re “friends” is because of some mutual gain, something that both cannot afford to lose, these friendships are usually stronger and last longer than two people who’ve known each other since childhood and the only bond between them is that they both know the other person better than they know themselves…But seriously, think about it. What’s the point in having a friend if you can’t exploit him?

How many times have you exploited a friend? How many times have you backstabbed a friend? How many times have you fucked a friend over, just because you got bored of him?

Hell, we’re only human after all…
