Writer's Block: Friend indeed

"Potential friends"?

Didn't know there was a fucking screening process. Christ, NO WONDER THIS WORLD IS SO FUCKED UP.

Yeah, honesty and integrity are nice, but people are the way they are for reasons many times outside of their control. Deal with it.

Well slap me silly and call me a taoist.

Sure, I probably wouldn't be "friends" with the complete stranger that tried to start a fight with me for no apparent reason.

I guess what I mean to say is that I believe our screens should be very transparent. And we should be especially careful with how we define people, and be open minded about the nature of people.

But I still feel like the idea of "screening" people is silly =\

Would you date just anyone? As far as I've been able to tell from what you've written, you're quite selective about the type of person you'd entrust with your heart, as well you (and everyone) should be. Why, then, would you be so much less careful when it comes to friends? Good ones have just as much power to nourish and to wound us as lovers do, at least in my experience...

You are probably right. But I think eventually I numbed myself to the pain. Just because you don't feel anymore doesn't mean wounds don't scar.

Yeah. But I mean, I don't screen people by external characteristics. There's nothing you can know, until you get to know them, that should affect your choice.

I do screen I guess, but like I replied to Chaos with, it's not so simple. I have a weird screen with regards to friend specifically, probably because of the kind of people I came across here, and the way they treated me. I still tried to be a part of things, though, because I loathed the idea of not having anyone, friend or otherwise. But it would seem that it's gotten to that point. It was my biggest fear in life, you see.
