What does friendship mean?
Friendship is usually surrounded by positive words like loyalty, forever,and comfort.
These are generally the most common elements people think of in any exploration of friendship.
Friendship can certainly contain these attributes, but upon closer analysis it also includes a
more complex array of other elements as well.
A more sophisticated and refined definition of friendship would include not only a portrait of its enduring, permanent (meaning), but also of its likelihood and compassion as well.
A more comprehensive picture of friendship is important if we are to properly estimate the value it holds for us as human beings.
We have to be careful not to over-emphasize the idea that only true friendships are forever.
For example, in elementary school, there were many of us hanging out, running, and playing with our little friends.
We believed that our life would be boring without playing with each other.
