The cult of friendship disturbs me. It’s like our quality is supposed to be measured by the number of friends we have. For me, it’s quite the inverse. When somebody says “I’m friends with everyone” I just assume they have the spine of your average jellyfish and the integrity of your average soap dish. “I have tons of close friends!” Ok, then you obviously have no standards. “I’ve slept with lots of people!” Good, I will shake your hand from inside this Hazmat suit. It’s like you have to have friends or you’re nothing, and you gotta have lots of friends, and the more friends you have the more value you have. This Is a way of lowering our standards to fit in. I’m a big fan of quality over quantity. Everyone wants to look at their life like it’s a beer commercial they can just climb into. The larger the circle of friends the more alcohol is involved to blind yourself to the fact that you cant stand most of these assholes.
