I have heard a million times that an enemy’s enemy is an ally. But yesterday, due to some situation, I needed consolation. And that was when I came across its contrary statement-
“A friend of a friend is not a friend.”
Pondering on this, I found out that this was true in ever way. Everyone has experienced this but few would be ready to admit. Look at the following two situations.
- You have a really close friend. And he is the only one. But to him you are “just one of the good friends”. Won’t those others induce a feeling of jealousy within you? Of course you would try to suppress it, coz it ain’t right to feel that way. You feel it anyway.
- Your best friend introduces you to some of his friends. Suppose you are a girl and one of his friends start hitting on you. You want to thrash him but redeem yourself on the grounds that he is a friend of your best friend.
Now, can a friend of friend be your friend? Ah! Not unless you got a real high tolerance level.

It isnt necessary is it ? when your friend introduces you to another friend of his it really depends on you and that person whether you would become good friends or not :D and i would agree with the first point though :) ;) :| :P :* :|
