A friend can be a friend in many ways, I have really close friends who are the people I share all my worries,anxieties and disappointments with but also all my excitement,joy,success and happiness.
As I do all of theirs too.

There are also friends I have contact with but who have a special place with me, even people I haven't yet met.
Some members on here for instance.

I don't see friendship as meaning you have to agree on and enjoy all the same things.
However, friendship to me, is that you respect those you call friends and even though you may disagree a lot with them even, that doesn't in any way alter the friendship because of the respect and affection you have come to have for them.
