My Brother's Keeper
-------------------
In this day and age there is one thing that is seemingly
impossible to find. No matter how much you look, how hard you try,
no matter what you do, you can't find good friends anymore.
Of course, the definition of 'good' in this case can vary
quite a bit. There are several degrees of friendship accepted by most
people. 'Casual', 'friend', and 'good' friends are the easiest way to
break it down.
Good friends. Everyone has one, or maybe two or more. Doesn't
matter how many you have, as long as you have one. That one person is
more important than almost anyone else in this world, and sometimes is
the most important.
Think of all the people you call friend, and think of how good
of friends they are. Are you willing to sacrifice something for them?
Are you willing to put them above yourself and do whatever it takes
to make sure that person is ok? Are you willing to die for them?
In my time, there are probably less than ten people I would
put in this category, and despite the fact I am not in touch with
some of them, they are still the best friends a person could have.
Over time you may lose track of them, may not talk to them
as much, and may have your differences. With good friends you remain
friends even throughout this time. Just remember back to the good times
you had with them, and how much they are family to you.
Sometimes you will have a small group of such friends in the
same place, all good friends to each other. Sometimes those groups
form together and give themselves a name, have common interests,
and have the same agenda. Whether they be gangs, just friends, hacking
groups, or whatever, they can often be much more in the way of friends.
If a group of friends that good means anything, always hold
them above yourself. The needs of the many can outweigh the needs
of the one. One the other hand, in some cases, the needs of the one
can outweigh the needs of the many. It is something that you have to
consider. It usually isn't the needs of the one.
Honor and trust above all. Trust no one more than yourself is
something I commonly believe in. The next in the chain of trust is your
good friends. They are family to you. The only difference between them
and your family is you typically spend more time with them.
Loyalty. Be loyal to one another. That is one trait that defines
a group, and reflects on you more than anything else. If times are tough,
stick it out. They will get better, and in the end, you will have those
friends to help you get over it.
It is rare that you have friends worth dying for, so when you do
find them, do nothing to lose them.
