Have we ever wondered about who are the ones that we call "Friends"? Or, why do we call them like that?
Most of the people have the wrong idea that a friend is the person who makes you laugh or the ones who goes with you to parties, have fun and sits beside you to drink a lot of alcohol and smoke a cigarette, etc. In most of the cases they're not your friends; but sometimes they're not only friends but also your brothers.
It is very difficult to find a real friend. For me it doesn’t matter what the person thinks, where he lives, what music does he like, even if he or she have vices or have made mistakes because everyone have, but the important thing is that he/she could have the virtue to be honest with me.
Whether a person tells you that you don’t have defects, it’s not worth to make an effort to establish a friendship because they are liars, the biggest liars in the world! But if you want to be a friend it does not mean that you have to scan all of her/his defects. For being a good friend, it only implies knowing a person, and accept all the defects and virtues he/she would have.
Not only the people can be your friends but also animals, they’re very intelligent and loyal.
Once you are able to select your friends you will live the greatest moments of your life: some smacks on your shoulder when you make mistakes, smiles at parties being so drunk, long sermons that you never listen seriously, but after a couple of years you remember them with a grin on your face, all the bad experiences and the knowledge you have recollected from them, laugh when your friend has been refused to dance with a pretty girl, or seeing their smile when you fall and then their hand to help you to lift up, etc. Now I have a few friends but I can tell you they are the greatest.
