Who is a friend!

Everyone has friends, and we each define friendships in our own way. I'd like to share my definition of a friend.

First, I believe it's important to explain my understanding of the meaning of life before defining what a friend is. Life resembles a treasure hunt. Initially, you must discover yourself. Then, you must find God (which is essentially the same as the first task if you truly understand). After finding God, you need to uncover the unique gifts that God has given you. Once this is achieved, dedicate the rest of your life to following your destined path.

Having defined my view of life's meaning, I can now describe friendship. A friend is someone who helps you progress along your path to your destiny. If someone keeps you on this path, they are a friend. If they lead you away from it, they are an enemy. Many people, in their quest for comfort and companionship, have unintentionally surrounded themselves with enemies. This is due to us mistakenly confusing a person who is fun, with a person who is a friend.
