Friendship…should there be the question of who I should call a friend?

What is a friend?Since I was small I have always had a perception a friend is someone who is always with you..who cares for you..makes you happy…laughs with you..but lately experience have forced me to reevaluate my perception towards friendship…a new definition have silently slipped in ..should I ever judge a friend? I feel happy that I have accumulated so many friends along this short journey of my life..but how many are really my true friends? I know if I’m in trouble so many people will be there to help me…and if I’m sad there is more than one shoulder for me to cry on..but that merely isn’t enough to build a true friendship..is it? According to a friend a true friend is not just someone who praises you but also the one who have the nerves to correct if you’re wrong.But I’m not sure I can do that to many of my friends.I’m not saying that I’m perfect,as anyone else I tend to make mistakes,and I would like to be corrected so that I don’t repeat it.But could I do it?Wouldnt that mean I am judging my friends ? I’ve always lived with the perception that one should never choose a friend…that is just lame discrimination. Whoever a person is… is entirely their right. In order to accept someone as a friend does not depend on how much we can stand of them..but how much we can accept them as a whole person..most importantly as there are. And if there are some things they do that we don’t agree upon, what we can do is tell them. As honest as we can ...deep from our heart…
