Quantity or Quality?

Been shopping a lot lately. Or should i say have never stopped shopping since the day i was born. LOL. I m sure everyone especially girls go through a phase in their shopping "endeavour" when they decide whether to get something really expensive with good quality or go for a number of the same thing of lower prices and quality. I guess in general for men, quality comes first. While for us ladies, the style comes first. But again it also depends on the kind of item and individual.

Similarly, in this world, there are people with many many friends/ acquaintances in their social circle while some have just a few real good friends. What do you prefer if you have a choice? And also, who are you to your friends? Are you the quality friend or just one of them that makes up the number?

Recently met a friend who totally just want as many pals as possible without considering the depth of relationship he may have with them. Maybe to him, networking is the essence of his life and thats y he tries to get as many friends as possible. Meet you, get your contact and keep in touch once in a while. Or rather come to you when you can provide some kinda value to his life. Honestly, i think it wouldnt hurt to know a person like this in my life. I get no harm by knowing one more person. But I don't think I will be able to build quality friendship with such person.

So i guess.. it's good to have many friends. But one should always have a few true sincere friends around and they are the ones who will be there for you most of the time.

Got the chance to talk/chat with some friends over the past few days. I must say.. i really enjoy talking to them. It may be about funny experiences in their life or sharing thoughts on similar issue. No matter what the topic is, I just enjoy talking to friends and i mean true friends. There are times when we can just joke around and mean nothing at all. But there should be times when we share what we think and feel. Knowing that a friend will share his/her thoughts and experiences with me, I simply just feel honored to be able to share the moment with them, understand each other more and build more common topic/experiences. The essence of friendship is just that simple yet difficult to achieve.

So what kind of friend are you to the ones you care? What kind of friends do you prefer? Can we be good friend to all our friends??? These questions may seem superficial but hey look around, isnt’t the world superficially complicated?
