friendship?

define friendship?

i think its really sad that the relationship of mankind have developed into a stage of practicality and mechanical way. people see you smile at you, oh fair enough, i won't announce myself as their friends, they are just classmates, school mates, ths guy at work, this girl from my neighbourhood so on and so forth. but its really confusing when people call you friends and all they are interested is to msn or call or sms you when there is a need or help needed.

it is hard to find someone who is genuine, some one that relates to a person in a person way. how many friends of yours are genuinely interested about you as a person? or interested in your life? or simple how-are-yous a matter of fact? in fact i did a small personaly experiement and realise that almost all the people do not expect a answer when they ask how are you. imagine if you ask a person what's the time and the person did not answer you fully, you will surely ask"yeah?" or "uhuh, yes?", but most people that ask how-are-yous, will just turn their head even before the other party replies fully.

i mean some people are just naturally more busy and love to occupy their lives with things, so naturally they don't have the extra time and effort and energy to get to know pple deeper and that's fair. then i feel that it is not apt to just announce yourself as someone elses friend, if you are not interested in that person, as a person. call that person classmate or projectmate or whatever, just don't use the title friends too losely.

i feel.
