what is a friend

Lately I have been angry.

I have come to realize that a mutual understanding of a friendship is very important. Can you be friends with someone who doesn't have the same idea of friendship as you? Can you be friends with someone who perceives a different level of friendship? Is a person being a good friend if their idea of being a good friend falls below your expectations? By whose rules are you supposed to play by, and by whose standards do you judge a person? (Sure it's not good to judge but if I think someone is being a BITCH I'd like to know if I am right.)

And, what happens when someone offers friendship that is below your minimum accepted level? Sort of like no VISA for purchases under $5. What do you do?

GRRRRRRRR...
