How do I define “FRIENDS”?

Definitely not as the sitcom on one of the US TV networks.

Definitely not as implied by, “A friend in need is a friend indeed!”

But, as someone who enjoys sharing with you the ordinary time, the normal times when nothing much is happening.

If someone is there to share only the joy of the good times and the burden of the bad times, sorry I have no room for such friends.

Are you ready to derive happiness just sharing “time” with me, no agenda?

If yes, let me know. I will be honored to have you as my “FRIEND”.

I have no agenda, but time is the casualty. How life can keep us so busy, I wonder!

Matheikal, my point is, many times, lack of time or citing it serves as the handy excuse, however true or false it may be. I like to spend time with friends and I am confident that I will enjoy that company no matter what; even if it be silence, it will be an enjoyable one.

Thinking about it again, I feel the real issue is not lack of time, but lack of interest. I find books better company than people. People bore me easily. People have also ditched me too frequently; I'm not crooked enough to deal with people...

Pcisely Matheikal, lack of interest. Now, read what I wrote: going down the ladder of importance! I hope you see the congruence.

When you are resigned to people becoming less and less interesting, "People bore me easily", I believe I am proactive, trying to engage them so that I can become more interesting to them!

Not that I have even a decent success rate!
