Who are Friends?


Who are your friends? In this day and age, people have hundreds of “friends” on MySpace and FaceBook (many of whom we actually have no idea who they are), where we “know” dozens of parents of our kids’ classmates, where we go to conferences and see faces we have met before, where we follow celebrities on blogs and twitter and read their books and feel like we know them.

But who really are your friends?

Your friends are the people you will go out of your way to help. And those who will go out of their way to help you.

Ja, soos 'n soos 'n Universiteit 'roomsie' wat na meer as 10 jaar steeds 'n vriendin is, al het mens mekaar net 2 keer gesien in al die jare.

Die war ek op my een hand kan tel, en ten minste een keer per week email of Skype.

and usually they are the one you are the most comfortable around and they are the ones whose opinions matter. And no matter how many fights you have, they are still there for you, and I I have just one of those, sad but better to have 1 very good one than lots of uncertainties

Ek kry vandag hierdie e-pos van 'n vriendin af... en dit was so waar vir my!

"I may not be the most important person in ur life but I hope that one day when u hear my name u smile & say 'THATS MY FRIEND""
