Friendship [A RANT]
9 years ago
Okay, so where do I exactly go with this? The major point I want to throw out here is, be friends with who you want to be friends with or interact with who you so please.
Now look, something I've seen a great majority of the time is where people say sides are like important, that you MUST pick them, no I don't believe that, it sounds like a shit excuse for a posse to grow in numbers, you pick sides based on the facts, because if you choose something based on word of mouth due to believe someone else over the other, that's honestly fucked up, to the nth degree.
I love all my friends, I care about all the people I interact with, though I do realize at times I need to like back off and remember I need time to care for myself too. One of the major issues I run into with friends is that "Hey you can't be friends with that person because that betrays my trust in you." Now hear me out here, YOU, as a human, a person are entitled to feel betrayed, but you cannot force your guilt and philosophy of why person A can't interact with person B in any shape way or form. If my friend is friends with something I've had a bad history with, should I stop them? No, yeah I'll give a warning on how they should make approaches to said person, but I'll never try to discourage them from wanting to get to know them.
The biggest factor in this is, interactions vary for each and every person, not all interactions end up being the same, when you are trying to bar people, your own friends especially, Hell I even consider this for family members to not interact with someone because of beliefs, your experience with them, or just things that effected you, despite they have better interactions with them, it's wrong and manipulative. It is different however if that friend is being abused by said person, then yeah, maybe not let them try poking that person with a 10 inch stick within a 35 foot radius or just ya know, stay the fuck away.
So be friends with who you choose to be friends with, don't let the bribes or fear of your other friend hold you back and for those that do end up doing that to friends, honestly in my eyes, your a piece of shit.
Have a good day by the way.

OP
No, this doesn't point out anyone at all, this is just something people need to take in for the consideration of them and others around them.

A famous dude I cant rememebe once quoted that just because you don't understand a persons motives, political views, or preference of life style. Does not mean you cant be friends. its not a tick box. Some people ya get along with like there your brother, others just don't mix. The more we try and put things into a checklist the more we distance ourselves from our own humanity.
