A most interesting concept indeed, People often abuse it in need. Friendship is a most important thing. It has sort of an official ring. It should never be taken lightly, And it does not always glow brightly. Friendship is not merely acquaintance.
Acquaintance equates to transience.
Transience is not everlasting. To claim it is so is bombasting. Friendship, to truly last, must be earned. If it's not earned, then you will be burned. It must prove itself through test of time.
