Friends are useless, here’s why

Do you remember your kindergarten friends? Name 3 friends from high school.

Ok cool, name 3 remarkable memories with those 3 friends. What I thought.

It’s likely that you can recall them, because you have had good friends. Now tell me 3 more friends, and 3 more after that.

How can I recall that many?

Really? You have lived over for over 2 decades and you don’t have 9 friends?

Who are your friends?

“Timmy, I am bored, play COD with me”

“Yeah, sure. Hop onto the discord chat, I’ll get David to join”

“Amazing, 3 friends game, ought to be splendid!!”

Those aren’t friends, those are a “double coincidence of wants”. You needed a pal to play with, they needed a pal to play with, three of you signed an intangible agreement of lonesome killing.

Two years later when you three part ways – different classes, different schools – you three say bye bye and “friends” no more.

You have had more than 30 “friends” in life, but you can merely recall the first 3 in the beginning of the article.

Most friends are just a convenience, a ride, a taxi driver that happens to be right next to you. They’re useless.
