What is the true meaning of friendship? Love? Whats the point of having them when each of us, as an individual never really found out the underlying point of having them, or how they are forged, and kept sharpened, and placed back into its sheath.

Friendship
Friendship is not dependent on how long one has known the other. Neither is it dependent on how much similarity you have with the other.
You are not a better friend simply just because you know how your friend got every single one of his/her scars, or every single crack in the wall lining of your friend's house.
Friendship is dependent on how much you are willing to make that friendship last. Spending every single day with your friend won't give you a 99.99% possibility of having that friendship. Nor does having fun with your friend ensure it.
All it takes is one mistake to throw years, months, weeks, days of friendship down the drain.
This mistake can be from saying something that would have otherwise offended your friend, to one of either party not keeping communication with the other. In other words, "can't be bothered". One does not simply not talk to the other party at all for days, weeks etc. and then expect the latter to always start conversations or organize little gatherings that would have otherwise mean the world to them, spending one day with their long lost friend, who "couldn't be bothered".
As a result, friendship is all about keeping communication with each other. You can't expect the other party to keep in touch by calling you every day, messaging you via MSN, poking you on Facebook etc. when one fails to do back the same.

Friendship is never a one-way relationship.


Love
Can one love without caring? Can one care without love?
Do the math and go figure.
Love is not judged. You can love anyone. But everyone has the right to say no. A decision that the other party must respect. Never ever force the other party to love you back, because thats just courting death.


Loving someone shows that you care for that someone.
But caring for someone shows that you love that someone.
