"for all we know, some of them aren't the way we perceive them to be.."

we all have what-we-so-called friends, companions, enemies, loved ones, and the rest, simply acquaintances.. however, the expectation that may come out of such an encounter will always vary and most of the time, although not a generalization, disappointing! some of you may have experienced a real friendship that bloom out of just a simple "hi-hello" to a stranger seated right beside you on the plane or a bus in one of your trips.. others might narrate how painful it was for a friendship that end out with a betrayal.. for some, things may have wonderfully preserved the relationship but for the rest, maybe by now they are already on the guessing game on the how(s), the when(s), the what(s), the where(s), and the why(s) such intimacy suddenly metamorphosed into coldness and incompatibility..

the worth of something as sweet as friendship is always a variable. in mathematics, it is that which does not have any quantitative value.. for this, it can be said that such is also a gamble.. for all we know, some of them aren't the way we perceive them to be.. in law school or in political science, there is this animal called prostitution of politics, where the ought to be trusted government official uses their power for personal gratification and motives.. somehow, friendship is like that.. the user and one "used", the abused and the abuser, the fake and the genuine..

what's my point? one word. B-E-W-A-R-E!
