i constantly hear people charge that the word love is too easily used, while that is most likely true, there is a word that has been raped more and far worse; friend. i think there is a stark difference between "friend" and "aquaintance". there are far more aquaintances in a persons life than friends, while a person would naturally care for these aquaintances to a point, it is by no means close to the amount of love and care reserved for friendship of which there are far fewer. i will do anything for my few real friends without expecting anything in return. as for the aquaintances in my life, i care for some and could not care at all about others. the hard part is figuring out who your real friends are.
