Lay beside me... tell me what I've done...

"Perhaps friendship is merely an emotional weakness similar to love, but then of course love isn't a weakness but the desperate need for it is. Maybe friendship is a risk or a gamble one takes in life. After all few friendships last forever and when a friend is lost he or she is merely replaced like a new toy by another friend. Cycles like these are often seen when a person moves or loses a loved one. How do you know the person is actually your friend or not? Most "bestfriends" usually end up with one person not viewing the other as a friend but rather an attractive person he or she is unable to share his/her emotions with, using friendship as the most possibly closes way of getting to that person or being near them. Its said that if a friend gives up on another he/she was never his/her friend to begin with... that’s when hurt feelings occur but in truth the person who merely wanted or seek a friend in the first place is the one to blame. It seems to me that friendship is just a need for one to constantly have someone to share his/her emotion with... whether they are sorrow, happiness or laughter. Friends also seem to make people think irrationally. If a friend knows he/she maybe wrong yet continues he/she expects his friend to follow even though he/she is wrong. For example: Bob is going to steal something from someone and ask his friend Joe to join him. Joe knows that what Bob is doing is wrong so he disagrees to assist Bob. Bob foolishly expects Joe to help him simply because they were friends. 
 
You see a friend seems to always expect the other to agree with him/her even if they are wrong. People seem to depend so heavily on friendship that they believe it stands above all logic or everything else. That is why even if a group of friends makes fun of someone which is wrong... by them doing so they are bringing their own friendship closer and stronger. So not only is it an error but it is so overrated and put above everything else that even friendship can grow at the expense of others without a single care. That tells me that the true purpose of friendship is to spread ones emotions while using apathy to better themselves or their errors. Thus friendship is as bad as it good and is likely little more then a human psychological correction process. 
 
It's annoying when people think love and friendships are these magical things that are supposed to be perfect and cure you of anything that is depressing and make you feel better." 
 
And now that I've lost most of you... 
 
I start my job tomorrow... Kill me now... 
I also have homework to do tomorrow... lots of it... 
*checks watch... or lack thereof* 
73 days... 
Is it possible to spend 10 hours playing one game with nary a rest to be found? In my case, yes... sadly... Minus the spring cleaning, and 2 hour job of re-organizing my music folder. 
I miss my cat... it ran away... or someone stole it... or it got ran over... *sniff*

Thanks, but it's not working... Grr! Friend's are a pain in the ass. And most certainly not bad. I mean a mistake is said to be bad, but you learn from it, and it's therefore a teacher, and therefore good. It's like the 'was Hitler good or bad for the world?' question... Urg. Friends are a pain in the ass.

The door is closed, so are your eyes... But now I see the sun...

But friendship is only defined as a human psychological correction process if something is actually being corrected... by what was said, friendships lead to negative events... i.e. Bob stealing.

Anyway, just an opinion... I agree totally about depression being familiar... It's just that it gets worse as you come to terms with it being familiar... So by telling yourself that depression isn't anything anyone should have to get used to, you'll cheer up, if ever so slightly... Stick your chin up, the hardest thing in life is getting through it... Just tell yourself "So far, so good... I'm still here, still breathing."
