there’s a little voice<\/span>
<\/span>inside me<\/span>
<\/span>that says <\/span>
<\/span>over and over…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>“I just wish this would all go away”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>I do just wish it had never happened<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>but it did<\/span>
<\/span>and I can not retain my basic personal beliefs<\/span>
<\/span>if I do not fight <\/span>
<\/span>tooth and nail <\/span>
<\/span>for what I believe to be right<\/span>
<\/span>I can not live in a vacuum<\/span>
<\/span>nor can I stand by and watch the people<\/span>
<\/span>I care about <\/span>
<\/span>be set up for a fall as well….<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>the definition of friendship varies<\/span>
<\/span>dependent upon whom you ask…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>at dictionary.com it is this:<\/span>
<\/span>Friend”ship, n. [AS. fre[‘o]ndscipe. See <\/span>Friend<\/a><\/span>, and <\/span>-ship<\/a><\/span>.]<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>1. The state of being friends; friendly relation, or attachment, to a person, or between persons; affection arising from mutual esteem and good will; friendliness; amity; good will. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>There is little friendship in the world. –Bacon. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity. –Rambler.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> Preferred by friendship, and not chosen by sufficiency. –Spenser. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>2. Kindly aid; help; assistance, [Obs.] <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Some friendship will it [a hovel] lend you gainst the tempest. –Shak. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>3. Aptness to unite; conformity; affinity; harmony; correspondence. [Obs.] <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Those colors . . . have a friendship with each other. –Dryden.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> the real definition of friendship for me involves love<\/span> and respect<\/span> and loyalty<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>it involves trust<\/span> and faith<\/span> and honor<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>it involves integrity<\/span> and strength of character<\/span> and confidence in someone<\/span>
and it involves emotion<\/span>
<\/span>it’s all of that and more<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>I’ve lost too many people that professed to be my friends<\/span>
<\/span>by breaches of any number (and\/or all) of these items<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Far too many<\/span>
<\/span>to not want to fight <\/span>
<\/span>for the one’s I have left<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Peace.<\/span>
