“Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight is said to be the only truth”

“Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight is said to be the only truth” -Herman Melville

And that is how I know my only true friend.

We were friends from the third grade, the moment we met.

No action word or deed can break a friendship. No matter the deed or how heinous it might be called among men.

For what most people call friendship is not. They have some superficial characteristics that drew them together. If they should lose commonality they will invariably drift apart. My true friend and I have a trust based only on a desire that we are friends and would do anything for each other. Even married couples are not true friends, for they often would abandon each other over some material thing or physical action.

Though he is not within a thousand miles I could call him and in a moment he would quit his job and be on a plane to help me within 2 hours, simply because we have such affection and caring about each other. And I for him, though I know I would never ask it of him.

Now on the subject of acquaintances I may have dozens. People with whom I drink beer and make trivial conversation, enjoying their low company. Would they abandon all for me? Or I for them? ha!!! Such is a laugh.

But true friendship, like true love, is absolute, unto physical death.

You're making some pretty bold statements I think. "Even married couples are not true friends."

Like what? Do you really mean ALL married couples aren't "true" friends?

I also don't think "abandoning everything for somebody" is generally a very logical thing to do assuming you're not a life-or-death sort of situation

Yes, bold statements, and perhaps lies too. There might be some married couples that are true friends, but not many. Most will abandon each other to save themselves.

So far as abandoning everything. I would and without a second thought. And my friend would do likewise. I simply know it a fact. We might never ask that, but could. Thats true friendship.

A wise man said "No greater love hath any man than this, that he give up his life for his friend." That's the stick I measure friendship by. And that is perhaps why I have only one other person in the world I call a friend, and am lucky to have that one. Now my sister and her kids I would do the same for, should it be required, but I also have no doubt it is not reciprical, so even she is not a true friend, though my closest kin and sister she is.

What exactly do you mean by like "abandon everything for him" though, like under what circumstances would that be a necessary thing to do?

>>>>What exactly do you mean by like "abandon everything for him" though, like under what circumstances would that be a necessary thing to do?

A simple request. If he asked. Of course it would be something important, otherwise he would not ask. That sort of thing is an unspoken bond.

What if he asked over something not important?

He wouldn't. But I'll entertain the hypothetical anyway... It would make zero difference. I would not even hesitate.
