[QUOTE="BlackSilver, post: 2494556, member: 22250"] The Better person thread, a recent conversation with a friend, and some posts here on EN World got me to thinking about friendships and how far some people will go for their friends. How good a friend are you? What have you done for your friend(s) that makes your relationship special? I know the old saying about friends- “friends help you move, while real friends help you move bodies.” Do you (seriously now) have friends that you would do virtually anything for- even imprisonment or the worst die to help? Do you feel they would do the same? Would you drive hundreds of miles to get your friend from a sticky situation, missing a day of work, and leaving a pissed off spouse to get to your friend in need? If a friend did something uncharacteristic would you give them another chance? Would you believe in them enough to forgive them? (Friends- true friends to my way of thinking, forgive with a single word or a single action.) If a friend asked you to do something that made you change the way you speak to them, would you do it? If a friend were gravely injured would you help them pay their bills? If they were suddenly unemployed would you help them with their house payment, knowing that they may one day repay the money? Personally, I have only a few friends, people that I feel I would do anything for and would do so without question. There are a few of my friends that I would think about their request before I did what they asked, but that is just because of who they are and what they have been involved with in their past. Unfortunately, a few months back I was attacked and really badly hurt, I could not work, had no insurance. When rent came due I discovered that my friends had joined together to pay it, and my utilities. I am getting my business going again, and things are looking better, but it might be years before I can repay them (the money)- I mentioned this to one of them- “your friendship is enough for now, pay us back when you can.” What about the people you care about?
