What is FRIEND?

When mention about FRIENDS,everyone start to think about their friend.Some of them might also start to count how many friend they have since their childhood time.Everyone must have friend at least one in their entire life.Sometimes I asked myself, did I really understand what is the meaning of FRIEND?Do I really have a good FRIENDSHIP with my friends?Why people need friend in their life? why we being a friend for so many people at the same time? what is the real rules in friendship?All these question comes into my mind.

Why I choose to post this topic? Because sometimes I don't know what to do and when I don't know what to do, I alway think about this kind of silly question.SometimesI asked myself,why should I care about all those thing.Even sometimes I really crazy and I asked myself,who is the first person who introduced "A,B,C" AS a letter,who is the first personthat introduced the number, who is the first person that tell the others that the 'tree' is the tree, etc...But it is not wrong to create curiosity in our mind right.Anyway, lets go back to the main topic that is FRIEND.Because I love to visit my "Uncle Google", I asked "him" to explain me the meaning of FRIEND.Below here I attached some meaning that attract my attention that can be shared with everyone.

I'm not simply put the quotes below just for fun. Here, I post the quotes that reflect my thinking about FRIENDSHIP. I just don't know how to describe it with my own words so I need help from these quotes to explain to everyone on what I understand about FRIENDSHIP.
