What does Friendship Mean to You?

“For me, friendship is not an advantageous transaction or give-and-take, for me friendship is a certain overlapping of life.”

But over a period of time, with the experience of life, I realized there are very few people who see friendship like that. Most people see friendship as context-oriented. When you are in school, you have one kind of friend. When school is over, you just drop them and pick college friends. When college is over, professional friends, and whatever else.
