LOVE+FRIENDSHIP
Friends who love each other are more then friends. This is about friends that will do anything for each other. The relationship has passed almost into the realm of a blood relative. Lucky are those who have developed such friendships. They should be as careful with them as if they are handling the most delicate of things. These relationships are rare and only exist between people who have an inherent soul connection. There are few people lucky enough to form this kind of relationship.
I love my Friends!!!
Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.
Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.
Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.
