Friendship to me means wanting to give more than you receive.
Wanting to share whatever you can to make someone's life easier.
If you have a whole donut and your friend has none, it means sharing your donut, even though you may still be hungry.
Friendship means giving love. It means saying I'm here for you.
It means sharing not only the good times, but the painful times in another's life, too.
Friendship also means being able to silently stand there and lending a shoulder of strength.
Friendship means trust.
Friendship means unconditional acceptance, regardless of race, creed, religion, handicaps or background.
Friendship means helping ease the loneliness in life.
Friendship means saying hello, giving a smile, sharing hope.
Friendship means being able to laugh together,
to cry together, to pray together.
In the cyberworld, as in our daily lives, friends may come and go. Sometimes you are betrayed by those you trust. Take from your friendships and memories the good, keep them close, and discard the unpleasant, painful memories. To quote a trite old phrase, "ships that pass in the night" is what we essentially are in each others lives - each with a purpose for a particular time. Be guarded in your friendships, however, especially in the cyberworld. Many people live in fantasy worlds and it is best to keep those relationships in that concept - allow them to be what they "want to be" rather than what "you would like them to be." Enjoy the fun, the friendship, and take it with a grain of salt. And, enjoy those friendships that are sincere and lasting - a true friendship is a treasure for life.
