i am FRIEND.
i do not care what this means to you....
or you... or you... or you.
i know what this means to me and i will
uphold it to anyone that challenges it.
i have my strengths and my weaknesses...
and those rise and fall dependant on circumstance
and environment.
i do not care what this means to you....
or you... or you... or you.
i know what this means to me and i will
uphold it to anyone that challenges it.
but sometimes people want a clear definition
of what FRIEND means to me... so that they
can stake their claims or poke their flags
and mark me as FRIEND to them or others.
here is what i mean:
see this image.....

this is FRIEND.
the radial lines (those that extend outward
from the center, like a ray) signify character
traits and environments and situations and
elements that occur within my life.
the lateral lines signify you....
and you... and you... and you.
i do not care what this means to you....
or you... or you... or you.
i know what this means to me and i will
uphold it to anyone that challenges it.
some of the laterals are shared, and some
are not. some of the laterals are overlapping
and some are not. some of the laterals start
and then stop halfway between the radials,
and some do not. some of the laterals bridge
two radials, and some do not.
no one lateral represents one person, but
rather, just as many radials represent
different situations/environments/traits,
so too are the laterals... accounting for
different people, repeated ad nauseum.
i do not care what this means to you....
or you... or you... or you.
i know what this means to me and i will
uphold it to anyone that challenges it.
some radials are longer than others... though
ALL radials extend to the end of my life,
just as memories often do... with spells of
forgetfulness and a resurgence of memory.
there are empty spaces where i was without...
and some spaces where there were only one or
two laterals.
but unlike a real spider and its true web,
spinning inwards to the outside, i spin my
web from the outside in... continuously
building new radials and laterals... as they
soon become history and move outward, locking
themselves in my history.
i do not care what this means to you....
or you... or you... or you.
i know what this means to me and i will
uphold it to anyone that challenges it.
a spider's web is not 2 dimensional... as
many people think. they are 3 dimensional...
with their many radials bouncing in the
wind and element... some rise and fall at
various times.
it does not matter to me what one radial
thinks of another radial... or that one
lateral may be similar to another lateral...
every line is different from the next for
whatever reason i choose it to be.
i do not care what this means to you....
or you... or you... or you.
i know what this means to me and i will
uphold it to anyone that challenges it.
because this is how i choose to represent
FRIEND, this is also how i choose to see
FRIEND... in you and you and you....
so while your idea may be different than
mine, when it is discussed, this is all i see.
though we may each share a radial, such as
hostboard, we share different laterals.
and no spider cares of another spider's web...
but only how his web helps and benefits him.
this, too, is how i see it.
you choose to build your web in your own
fashion, regardless of another's web. though
your web may have congruent radials or
laterals... it is different than mine...
and neither one is better than the other.
nor is one more terrible than the next.
though i may choose to forge a lateral
between two radials.... something you may
not choose to do, it is my web and i make
it in the fashion that i want. and i should
not be chastised for it.
my web cannot be used against me... for it
is my web, build on my foundation and my
blueprint... the same as yours.
though the spider's web is often challenged
by the elements and various articles of
circumstance, it does not fall. though pieces
of its web may become damaged, the spider
will instinctively see the damage as another
situation to create more radials... blending
them together with the help of more laterals.
the web will always be.
it is the nature of the spider to build it's
web. so, too, is it with me...
i do not care what this means to you....
or you... or you... or you.
i know what this means to me and i will
uphold it to anyone that challenges it.
