Description of a friend

Q: I have wondered how most folks would "describe" a friendship. I tend to think that this varies by a great deal. I for one value this above all else, even my own personalsafety. There are things a true friend won’t ask of a friendship or put before a friendship. What are your views folks?

A: I consider a true friend to be a person that I look forward to spendingtime with, that I would do almost anything for, and that I can call upon to talk during times of sadness or anger.
My best friend (other than my wife) would never rat me out nor would I rat him out(no matter what the circumstances). He would give me the shirt off his back if I asked for it as would I if he asked. A true friend is hard to find, and when you do find one... you have a treasure.A: That is basically my views. A treasure of advice, of support and the ever useful point of view that may differ from one’s own. True friends are hard to find and rare, this would be the reason I haveonly 3 "true" friends.

A: To me, a true friend is a person for whom we would gladly sacrifice our own self interest. The vast majority of what people call friends are just good acquaintances. Truefriends are rare and far between, but once found are there for life.
A: To me a friend is a person who accepts you for who you are and not because what you have, a person who corrects you when youare wrong and shares with you your good moments, as well the bad ones. That's what I think a friendship means.

A: Yeah, well, those are all good definitions of what a friend should be, seemingly outof a romantic novel. I've had many acquaintances in my years; some at the time I actually considered friend. Shared some periods with others who were just as scared as I. Hugged with them, prayedwith them and cried with them. It was a definite point in time when circumstances draw folks close, about as close as you can get. Those circumstances end, people go separate ways, and you realize it...
