    My Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary defines friend as
    1 a: one attached to another by affection or esteem b: AQUAINTENCE
    2 a: one that is not hostile b:: one who is of the same nation, party, or group
    3: one that favors or promotes something (as a charity)
    4: a favored companion
    5 capitalized: a member of a Christian sect that stresses Inner Light, rejects sacraments and a ordained ministry, and opposes war - called also Quaker

    Who is a friend? What critera do you use to consider another to be a friend? Are Quakers hippies?

    i used to be a quaker and they are very mellow and cool people. they don't inflict their religion on other's and they meditate during their services, no harsh preaching and guilt. but i feel a friend is one who stays with you through thick and thin, good times and bad and doesn't bad mouth you to other's behind your back.

    A personal religion. I respect that. What I'm trying to develop. Some would consider it conceited.

    Good repeat, kind of like a commandment. Peace and Love isn't out of the question. Wouldn't it be great? foolish? Or maybe our survival?
