to have a good friend is so important. knay lecha chaver. buy yourself a friend. interesting.
its so important to have a friend that the torah even tells us to buy one. that said , a true friend is hard to find and even harder to buy.
on facebook one could have five hundred friends and what does that all mean? NADA! how many of these so-called friends would you really want to spend time with? how many of these folks would you even be in contact if not for facebook? on the one hand its nice to be in touch with alot of friends from the past, but really? where is the substance?
some friends are situational friends. when the situation is over you are no longer friends. no longer single no longer friends. no longer in high school/college/neighborhood no longer friends. its not a bad thing. there isnt enough time in the day to keep up with so many people.
how many people do you think really know who you are? not how many people think they know you.
how many people really know you and like you for who you are? probably not many. i know there arent many who really know me. there are a few. but not alot. alot of people are too selfish to really get to know anyone besides themselves. alot of people dont really care. others arent capable of understanding another person. no frame of reference. if you arent exactly like them they cant understand you.
thankfully i do have several people who do really know me. and that actually is alot. its not often to have even one person who really knows you. fortunately i have several . life is good.

So true about school friends. Out of 3 classes and 3 years, I found only one person who's actually fun and who's fun to talk to. Others, at worse, won't even friend you, and at best are busy with their lives or now have nothing in common. That one guy had a positive and happy personality in school and still does and now we work in the same field too. The only downer is that he's in another state.
Just thought of Bob Marley's No woman no cry.
