Friendship

[Divinus Arma]

I posted this in the backroom because the frontroom is way too
"popcorn". We get a serious and interested crowd back here and I want opinions from folks who actually have an opinion.

A recent personal event has forced me to retake a look at the concept of friendship.

previosuly, I saw two categories of friendship: (1) aquaintances: Those who are "shallow" friends, abnd (2) friends: Those you would die for.

Well. My level of friendship is this: I'll ****** dioe for you. Anything goes. Fisticuffs, barroom brawsls, you name it. There is no limit to our bond. but I expect the same in return.

A key point of this is dignity and pride. They do not exist in friendship. I can piss on you and you can piss on me. We are like brothers. When it comes to friendship, dignity is the vice of the selfish.

I think of myself as the best friend a guy could ever have. Total selflessness. I recently had my best frined give it all up for personal pride. It was jacked up, and I am pretty broken over his betrayal.


So what is friendship to YOU? Can total personal sacrifrice exist in friendship? Is friendship meant to be shallow, or can it be as deep as I explained here?
