Sometimes i wonder, what do people take me as? A true friend or someone they turn to for chats only when they are bored? Or even someone they just need help from? If the latter is true, i guess i'm a failure at being a friend yet at the same time, at least i could do my part in giving them some assistance. The optimist battling with the pessimist. We call everyone we know a friend. But what's the exact definition of a friend? In the simplest term, it means a "person you know well and regard with affection and trust". [definition taken from www.dictionary.com] It's always easy to differentiate who's your acquaintances but never easy to distinguish who's your crony. You may treat that person as your bosom buddy but is it mutual? All could just be a one-sided affair. Knowing the person well and having affection for that person requires time to develop. But the key here is trust. Then again, what's trust? "Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence." [definition taken from www.dictionary.com]. To build up the confidence in confiding all difficulties, thoughts, happy moments, etc to someone you call a friend. Is that what trust is all about? For me, if i ever confess a sin [that is if i have sinned big time lol], i guess i have regarded you as my bosom friend? Trust, though a simple word used in everyday life, still makes everyone keep a distance from one another - a boundary that one cannot step over. Up till now, i have so many friends and acquaintances but who's the one i call a true friend? *ponders* Come to think of it, i may be thinking too much. This entry is in no reference to anyone in particular. Just a thought which sprang up from god knows where.
