True Friends and Friends of Benefits

In a simple term, Friends are people who love one another or each other
These set of people called friends defends, fights, advocates and see to the overall well being of the other person
It has been observed over time that a true friend dedicates him/herself for the overall development of his/her friend without expecting any returns as profit/gain


But, you will agree with me you've some people on your list who parade themselves as friends who don't fall in the context of who a true friend is
There are no two words for it
They are called friends of benefits
These are friends who are with you because they gain from you and they know loosing you is a disadvantage to them
So they do everything possible to satisfy you

So as much as they benefit from you
They are willing to stay awake all the night
They are those who do business with friendship
So once they give a penny, they expects pounds in return
Friends of benefits do not sacrifice but rather makes investment with friends
Once they're still finding you useful, they can call to find out about your well being

Friends of benefits when they mistakenly gives, takes, takes, and takes even without giving them or without permission
They are those who makes friend with you because of your position, influence, wealth, intelligence and others so that they can brag about it all in the name of his my friend; brags like the best students in my faculty and institution is a friend of mine
They don't necessarily care about you or what is happening to you
Some of them are so desperate that they take advantage of your sincerity to them to boss you around so that they can feel important

Friends are meant to be backbones to each other
Just like iron sharpens iron, so does a man sharpens the countenance of his friend
Evaluate yourself and check either you're a true friend or a friend of benefits
If you're in the first group, fantastic but if you're in the second group, it's a clarion call to you this morning to change for better

Friends are expected to be minor family members abroad
I mean a friend should be able to fit in to the role of relatives
Friendship is encouraging when it's a home away from home
It's must be rooted in love, trust and care.
