Friends. No not the artificial ones on the TV sitcom. Real friends.
We all have them - companions to travel through life with.
One school of thought is that there are four types of friend:
- Friends like flowers
- Friends like weighing scales
- Friends like mountains
- Friends like the earth.
The first two types are negative influences. A flower like friend is a fair weather friend. A weighing scale friend only is one when you are in a position of power. They drop you like a stone once you are no longer of use.
The other two types are the true friends - they go the distance, they support you no matter what.
It takes a while to figure out who they are - the mountain friends. Like the men in that old Mainland cheese advertisement - these things take time.
My friends who are still friends after 30 plus years are true friends. I've learned to appreciate them more and more as the years go by and I value their sincerity, honesty, helpfulness, and acceptance.
Love and peace - Wozza
