How Much is Too much? Mark Unseen   Jan 15 21:31 UTC 1995

Well, we seem ed to be getting off track, so here we go...

This item is about how far do the bounds of friendship go?  When is
enough too much?  How do you deal with this?

Come on, guys?!!?  What do you think?!?!

Enough is enough when it's enough for you.
People have limits, and if we cross limits.. well... we've crossed them.
For me...
Friendship never dies...
I can say a lot, even believe a lot to the contrary
but when it comes down to it I can never 'end' a friendship
at least not in my mind.  Not if I ever called someone friend.
Sometimes lines are crossed, and when they are crossed things can
never be the same... even between friends.
How do you deal?
I guess you forgive and hope you are forgiven and
realize things will never be the same ever between you and hope that
both of you can somehow still hold on to what made you
friends in the first place even if now you are distant.

that's what i think

You have no right to live until you've found a reason to die for.
A very wise man once said that.  Name him and you're cool. =)

No.  I'll give you a hint - this man has a day in memory of him, and
it just happens to be tommorow.  I learned that quote like 3 years ago
and just had to say it again and I didn't even think that tommorrow
was his day.  (one lst time the hint is: Martin Luther King day is named
after this man ;>)

Theodore Roosevelt?
Any ways, I think that I would go beyond the limits of my comfortability for 
a friend, even though I shouldn't. I feel as though I have an obligation, and
it usually gets me in trouble.

If that's true and you have an obligation doesn't your friend have
an obligation too?

Yeah, probably, but I seem to have a habit of overlooking that.

I've only had one close relationship with anyone, and right now it's
going to hell.  Communication is a joke, well at least between us it is.

a friend is someone you would give a kidney to,if they needed it.

wanna elaborate?

response 12 of 117: Mark Unseen   Jan 16 22:26 UTC 1995

Since I only have two kidneys, and therefore could only donate one,
jemart's statement would limit me to only one friend with kidney failure. 
Should that be a best friend, or something?

I would hope so. BUt if they ever pissed you off you could threaten to takr it
back.(with a spork) <Jack hopes he has at least one true friend>

there is the level of 'i will do anything to make sure nothing happens to
you or your family".  there is the i like doing things with you, and would 
be upset if you suddenly died, but life would eventually go on.  there is 
the i like talking to you in class, and we do homework together, but if
you died, i'd notice, and go on with life.

did that make any sense?

Somewhat...

I think that there are some things that I would not do for a true friend
, but dying isn't one of them.  I've thought about this very carefully,
and I think that if one of my true friends needed, really needed it, I would
and could die for them.  But there are still things I wouldn't do.
