Is there something called as true friendship? If it exists, then what is the criteria for a person to be your true friend?
If he helps you with money when you are in desperate need, then is he your true friend? If he helps you to finish off your deliverables when you need to rush off to meet your spouse for an emergency, then is he your true friend? If he offers to cover up for you when u need to take a vacation, then is he your true friend? If he offers you free advice when you are down, is he your true friend?
Doesnt true friendship mean that we accept the other person as he is? If i expect him to act in a certain way and if he doesnt and if i say that i no longer want to be a friend of his, then arent i being a bad friend? Shouldnt i go back to him and ask him why he acted in the manner he did?
I can say that, he didnt do this, so he is not my true friend. He can say that, i didnt bother to find out why he acted in the way he did, so i am not his true friend.
Friendship is complicated. Or is it?

My boyfriend and I had this talk about true friendship and he maintains that friendship is the whole of everything in life. In other words if you have a true friend who has a positivity of that friendship then nothing else matters as it will all fall into place automatically. Seems to me maintaining the positivity in ones self as being whole and true to self is the more difficult ! A true friend is someone who never judges has fun and accepts all in my books.
