Oh You Who Were My Friend

Lovers have a right to betray you... friends don't. ~ Judy Holliday

Have you ever wondered when to call it quits with a friend? When what they have become no longer looks like your friend? However, does that make you a bad friend or a smart individual for leaving. It's rather a dilemma.

If Hitler had one good friend who stuck by him, would he have ever tried to commit genocide or kill millions? Because having one good friend is such a powerful thing. It can make or break someone, and turn them into something all so very new.

The thing about friendship is that you only know your true friends when things start hitting the fan, in wet and sloppy amounts. Otherwise, you can never really tell who will stand by you and who will not. That is the definition of a good friend: one who sticks by you, through thick or thin and hell and back.

On the other hand, what happens if your friend is a crazy monster? Does that release you of the bonds of good friendship? Furthermore, it might not be your place to save your once friend. As a friend your position is quite limited as you are an equal. Furthermore, you can only save those who want to be saved.

To sums things up would be to really say, how much do you want to sacrifice? Be realistic, will you be more harm by being around. Sometimes you just need to give space to people. Other times you may very well be called on to slap some sense into your friend. Followed by grabbing them and dragging them out of their own personal hell.

Knowing can be quite hard. More so since, the road to hell is pave with good intentions. However, the question you need to really ask yourself before leaving, or staying is this: Is this a phase or is them really all along?
