True enemy or false friend

true friends, friends and fakers. how do one distinguish them. wouldnt it be nice to know. its not everyday that u get the opportunity to catagorize them. but once in a while the opportunity presents itself. and you get to know whos in for the long run and whos "in for the money".

for instance how many of your friends inquire about ur health when they find out that ur ill. along similar lines, how many of them inquire about your parents or relatives when their health is seriously deteriorated or when they pass away. and how many of them inquire just as a "call of duty" rather than sincerity. distress seems to be a way to identify whos really your friend from those who act as one for some personal gain. the idea never struck me, be it my stupidity or ignorance until i was in a chat conversation yesterday with a friend whos mother was in intensive care. supposedly he seem to have viewed those who inquired about her in a manner better than the few (or rather one according to him) who conveniently forgot to inquire about her.

so now why all the blabbering. i'm not feeling well. been stuck at home for two days n its driving me nuts. i guess i ran out of things to do (you can see multiple blog entries today. a sign of boredom). or maybe it struck me that now might be a good time to find out whos takes me for who i am rather than what i am (the latter is something that i'v been quite fed up with over the years). supposedly it seems to be working quite well. the ones i thought were true seems to remain true n the asses who were in for their own good... well.. better not say anything about them.. or maybe i would one day when the time is right.
