12 Attributes of a Good Friend

2018-06-03_080412 Attributes of a Good Friend

 Just how many contacts do you have in your LinkedIn account?  How many friends on your FaceBook page?  How many followers on your Twitter account?  How many people are in your Google+ circles?  Are they all your friends?  Is what a friend has become or is this simply a competition to build a high number of connections, followers and friends started by each of these respective companies, to build their businesses?  I believe we may be degrading our personal friendships by spending so much time with friend quantity, rather than quality.

Has the meaning of the word friend taken on new meaning?

Dictionary.com defines Friend as “a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard”, at least that is its first definition.  It also has, “a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter”, “a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile”, “A member of the same nation, party, etc”, “a person associated with another as a contact on a social-networking website”.  Accurate definitions, but which is your definition?
