Friends as measurement of success


I must agree with myself on this that I am going to say right now. Friends are good part of success and also an element of failure. Friends take and give depending what is and what is not. Successful friendship is the one that uphold same goals for the friends of which any slight change of course puts the friend's relationship in state of instability.

Many of you may not understand what I am trying to put across but I will explain with few logistics and examples.

Now let's take a walk together


Many friends of ours as we all call them are like those tiny fishes that swim in the sea with the Sharks. All focus of both the Sharks and the tiny fishes is to feed together. Now in this scenario, everyone is considered as the Sharks and the tiny fishes depending on who is the alpha friend as I would love to call it.

Every friend is considered a good and a bad friend at the same time. My reason s are genuine are reason if you all care to know. Anyways, I will states the reasons in a dramatic manner.

Imagine a few number of friends that smokes India hemp together, rape together, kill together and do some other bad stuffs together. These friends will always consider themselves as best of friends, allies, good companions and even brothers.
This is a case of having the same ambitions and goals to live. A different minded fellow of their that happens to have little of humanity left in him is considered the bad guy in this scenario. He will turn out to be their enemy at the end of time.

It has been stated that only an unfortunate friend wishes his/her mates bad fortune and meanwhile the above stated bad guys sees their standout friend as an unfortunate mate. The question is if he is a good friend to his mates or not.
This also take turn in an opposite manner of responsible folks.

My concern about friendship which engaged me in a thinking like a king cobra is that in both cases of the bad fellas and the good ones, the real friends won't want their friends to achieve more than they do if their line of success is the same.

This is a common case in every friendship except those with contemptuous heart will merit the qualities of real friends.

Finally, @steve1122 and I have gotten a ride to kaduna after a long stay at the garage. Home sweet home awaits us for the Christmas celebration.

There is saying that"show me your friend and i will tell you who you are" the type of people you associate with have a lot to do with how far you will go in life..Nice post..

Thank you @ayoyemi. You have said it all.

The world of social media has redefined the definition of friend—on one platform in particularly Facebook . When Facebook debuted in 2004, early users raced to accumulate as many friends as possible; high numbers were a status symbol. Then people realized most of their friends weren’t friends at all and they started “unfriending” (the word entered the dictionary in 2009). This process raised a good question which continues today: What is a true friend?

These friendships imply something deeper than a blood connection—intimacy, love, and loyalty.
The ultimate expression of such friendship was expressed by Jesus when He declared His disciples to be His friends for whom He was prepared to die

The word friendship isn't earn on mere talks nor activities but it is earn through loyalty, love and intimacy like you have stated. Thank you for these great words of yours.
