What Are You, Friend?

What is a friend? Is there any such thing? Is a friend just somebody who’s a little more interested in you than somebody who isn’t a friend, in which case where do you draw the line? Does anything define a friend?

This is a minor league version of the question ‘What is love?’ I’ve used both often enough, but try as I might, I can’t get to what either of them actually means.

Answers on a postcard. You may tell me I’m an alien. You wouldn’t be the first.
