They say all you need in life is good friends , and I can only disagree with such statement , as you need oxygen , water , food , money etc... but really if it wasn't for your friends , would all these things have any taste at all?
A friend is anybody you love and have a stable deeper then the normal good-morning-how-is-work relation , someone you enjoy going out with or talking to. You can have hundreds of colleagues and connections ,and tens of friends, it's easy to form new friendships and you can do it anytime , anywhere with the conditions that there would be other humans there ( you don't even have to talk a commune language ) , but good friends are really rare , you can't make them out of the thin air and once you have one , they bring out the best of you and you bring out the best of them.
A good friend , is a person who is always authentic around you , never wearing a mask and never changing faces , he is the person who fears for your friendship does his best to preserve it and would never lose contact with you even if he immigrates routinely . He is the person whose opinion you can't ignore even if you have your mind set on something and nobody else could make you change your mind about it .
He is the person who is always honest and direct to you about your flaws and mistakes but is always trying to change you to be better ,yet he accepts you for who you are . He would warn before you do something stupid ( and how surprisingly frequent is that ) , and when you don't listen he would tag along with you and risk bearing the consequences of your bigot actions just to make sure you stay out of troubles (or don't fall in them alone ) and don't end up killing yourself or with a broken leg, or simply to be there to call the ambulance quickly . He would understand the motives behind most of your actions and would always act in a way never to embarrass you , and even better help you achieve your goal . He is the first person you think of when you're in trouble and the first who calls you to know if you are going well once he hears about prison breaks , he would always know what gifts to get you on your birthday and when to give it to you ( if you hate birthday's), and -shockingly- he is the one person you don't wonder for hours about which gift to buy him on his birthday , he also happens to be one of the people for whom you buy gifts sometimes even if it's not their birthday and who would get you gifts without any occasion.
A good friend is the person who gained so much of your trust that you don't mind him using your laptop without your "surveillance"- even if you believe privacy is as essential for your existence as air and water - , not just because you don't mind him knowing those tiny little secrets that makes every one of us who they are , but also because you are sure he wouldn't be digging for them anyway ( not to mention he might be already knows most of them) . He's just someone who is more then trust worthy and as close as a brother to you , someone who knows stuff about you that you don't know about yourself , yet he doesn't just accepts all your flaws, he enjoys them, all while trying his best to "fix you " and in return - without even being conscience of it - you find yourself doing the same. A good friend would always do what's better for you ( even if it's against your will ) , he's that person you can't really get angry from , one of the few people that can really hurt you with their words or actions ( yet he never does) . He is the one individual that you would happily take the blame for him ( well you wouldn't be happy for being falsely accused , but you get my point ) , and he is one of the rare people who wouldn't accept it and would denounce themselves to save you (all while getting you into more trouble because you didn't reveal who was the true criminal from the start, but it;s the intentions that count ) , and then if you are in a really bad mood or after a terrible situation , just a brief eye contact with them would suffice to make you both explode in laughter no matter how disastrous the situation was.
That is A Good Friend.
