Question

How do you define and practice friendship?

Answer 1

By using concepts that cross culture, religion,  and understandings. The biggest being respect. Friendship is the pratice of an "ideological" understanding of this universal concept. Each culture thou treats it differently. But thru the use of respect, created thru an individuals understanding of his perception of reality, one can create a bond towards a purpose. Weather simple, like killing time, or complexs, like surviving. The defining factor is this human understanding of the power and potiental of an entity, again we call it respect.

Between you and me thou, a problem is create because friendship being based on a bond create thru the understanding of respect is PRAMOUNT towards a "functional" relationship no matter the culture. The problem created thou is when you seperate friendships, from relationships. This is the single biggest interpersonal problem man deals with ACROSS all cultures. Some just handle it better. But in the end, espacially in western culture, we've creating emotional communication problems for the sake of romance.....

But love is even easier to define, try me.......
