Ok had a nice blog and was going to let sleeping dogs lie for the night, however I received a phone call from a friend and couldn't help myself. First of all, let's explore that word....friend. According to websters a friend is: friend   /frɛnd/ Show Spelled[frend] Show IPA

no where in that definition does it say "someone you trust that will screw you in an instant."

We all have people that like to call us "friends" that will screw you at every turn. One of the reasons I am anti-people is the simple fact that we are simply no better than animals. We wait for the opportunity to "screw your buddy." If it's you or them, believe me it will be you. In my adult life, I can say I have only amassed 7 "true" friends. The others, I have had since childhood and trust with my life. Those are the friends that will take secrets to the grave, take a bullet for you and have no hidden agenda.

We have 2 at work I shall call them the troll and miss "that's not fair". Both constantly call in, cry and whine and to keep themselves out of trouble, will find someone minding their own business and do whatever they can to get them in some sort of trouble to take the heat off themselves. There are lots out there like that, I'm sure you know a few, probably even trust them. They even talk smack about each other to others, yet hang out together and com spire to take others down.

I'm sure the rest of you know people like this, have your own examples, yet are nice to these people, hoping that the good YOU possess will eventually rub off onto them. You can't change evil.
