Friendship!

I thought i should elaborate on what friends truely are.
Well Friends can be grouped into 3 categories :-
i) Acquaintances
ii) Friends ( generally know them, sort of hang out buddies)
iii) Best(close) Friends
In my childhood to teenage-hood, friends who i thought were my BEST friends came down the ladder to now just becoming Acquaintances! Whereas some of my acquaintances (from school and college) have started to climb the ladder towards the category Friends. Truely, in reality, it is quite HARD to find that true BEST friend, who is almost like the other HALF of you. In fiction, best friends are always shown to be as real close, trustworthy, completing-each-other-Friends whereas in todays time, it is hard to find that sort of person - BUT there is a possibility. In comparison with chemical bonding then......acquaintances are more like Van der Waals forces - Temporary, and easy to break. Whereas close friendship is like Hydrogen Bonding, permanent and hard to break.
To conclude with adding in my personal quote :-
' A true best friend is a GEM.....and i am still looking for that DIAMOND!'.
