            <title>FRNDS !  R THEY 4 LIFETIME?  (Sean Carter)</title>
            <link>http://en.netlog.com/eliana_vill/blog/blogid=2272839</link>
            <description>This is a question which must have crossed every person's mind quite a number of times. Friendship is &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;something which connects people through mutual knowledge, esteem and affection. It revolves around &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;loyalty, empathy , genuine affection for each other and the ability to understand others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We often  think whether our friend really cares and feels for us  in the same way that we  do. If they &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;indeed do , then you are one of the fortunate people in the world . Today's world, has become very  fast &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and artificial. What looks apparent from outside may not be the same from inside. People try to take &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;advantage of one another, all in the name of friendship.  Friendship somewhere down the line has lost its &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;significance. Friendship at one time meant lots of sacrifice and doing anything for one another come what &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;may .In today's world it also means hanging around coffee shops, movies, discos and having a good time &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;together . People these days have taken friendships  to be a kind of recreation and a medium of spending &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;free and leisure time.  It has  lost its  luster and meaning today  because our views regarding what we &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;expect from life and relationships have changed . We sometimes view friendships as  a stepping stone to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;success , At times we become manipulative and try to take advantage of our friends  because of the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;influence they  yield in certain social circles . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends are people whom you would really like to count upon and trust them for anything. Wouldn't you &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;raise a smile in the middle of your boring day if a friend suddenly drops by to say a simple Hello. It feels &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;good to know that somebody thinks about you and cares for your feelings. But it also equally important to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reciprocate their feelings. A one sided friendship doesn't last for long. First you need to realize how &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;important is a Friend for us . We need to ask ourselves we if can  give something to them  without &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;expecting anything in return.  A friend who sticks to you through thick and thin is a 'True Friend'. They love &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you for what you are and really don't care about how you look or how you behave. They feel the closest to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you and are able to share their inner most thoughts and feelings with you. In hard times when they don't &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;have anyone to stand by them , They stick with you and try to make things smother for you .  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saying &amp;quot;Friends in need is a friend indeed&amp;quot; doesn't mean anything , it has to be implemented in real life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends don't mean only being there in one another's good times but also in the bad times as well. A true &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;friend does not try to change you according to their preferences but accepts you as you are. Such &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;friendships are precious possessions and should be valued by those who have it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True and good friends are really hard to find, so if you have some, don't let them go and try to  hang on &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;really tight with them. They would be then Friends for a lifetime.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life will be more enjoyable and the world may seem to be a much better place to live if you have got true &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends who love you and respect you .</description>

            <title>TRUE FRNDSHIP</title>
            <link>http://en.netlog.com/eliana_vill/blog/blogid=1690391</link>
            <description>TRUE FRNDSHIP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frndship aint always easily described.  The Eskimos, they say, ve a hundred diffrent words 4 snow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the English language aint quite as innovative, though it has vast &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;opportunities to diffrentiate meaning.  Certainly, &amp;quot;Love&amp;quot; s 1 of those opportunities, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp; so, s  &amp;quot;Frndship&amp;quot;, as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of diffrent words, however, we re stuck w simple adjectives.  Close frnd. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best frnd.  Childhood friend.  Intimate frnd.  Trusted frnd.  Bloved frnd.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But ,whether u use adjectives or diffrent words, few could deny the nearly infinite &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;meaning in such a simple word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frnds r special ppl.  We cant pick our family &amp;amp; we re sorely limited in the number &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of them at any rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Society &amp;amp; mores, (&amp;amp; often our own consciences), dictate we select a single mate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But our frnds can b as diverse &amp;amp; infinite as the adjectives we choose.  Our frnds, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.</description>
