Friends

The word is thrown around a lot. Friends. I think, along with many other words, it has lost its meaning. I blame the "politeness" and other such B.S. things that people say and do, to make others feel comfortable. I'm not saying be mean, and rancorous all the time. I am just suggesting that weaker minded individuals take that as a sign of caring. Some sort of care.

Personally, I take great pride in words, and their meanings. Therefore, the friend count is rather minuscule. Of my own volition, of course. I use the term "acquaintance", like people use the word "friend". I think its a better word for such people. Friends are meant to know one another. But, truly, you can't really know someone. I mean, take something as simple as marriage. 10 years. You would figure after 10 years of marriage, that whether or not two people could get along, it should be easy to see. But, no. 10 years, and now they don't like each other. What really happens to cause this? Its different in any case.

But, I digress. And for those who exclaim that they have lots of friends (and you know who you are), I don't like you. Even if you are using the word to its fullest extent, it brings up another problem. To surround yourself with people. Its repulsive. I'm no expert, in that area, but I have my reasons.
