  • 2. “The Shopping Mall” (no offense!): It might seems rude to consider a friendship as a Shopping Mall but unfortunately that’s the way it sometimes it! In that Type of relationship no matter how valuable or desirable it really is, that’s always not the only option. Consider a very great shopping mall that provides all you need and you are a client who has enough money and an unsatisfiable need of whatever that mall could provide you with. But still no matter how great that mall is, that’s neither the only mall you can go, nor you are the only great client that mall could ever have. It’s not the matter of how many; it’s that you have a need for something –even a holy need! - And you just want to satisfy it. Even if you look at your friendship as an opportunity to be better person, help someone, make someone happy, be useful, or care, or love, or ... It’s still the need that you are thinking of. And even no matter how unselfish and kind you might be, you still can find even more and more great way to satisfy that need. You just need and like the relation not the person.
One possible answer :
Here we are not at the position of judging you! but I guess somehow considering a tool as your goal is not a very good option, I mean you can become a painter just by painting, all you have to do is feeling an believing and understand why it’s good to be a painter and how a painter is and more important what you actually want and will get from that- loving just for the greatness of love, helping just for the greatness of a person who helps, and ... is really great if they are what you really want from your life and time. Believe me, correct could be the one you believe, and they way that really takes you that way

  1. “The evening of the last day of a holiday” (In Iran another good name for it could be: “Friday evening”!): It’s the type which people consider it as the last remained part of a sweet thing which is going to be finished soon. In friendship or any other relationship specially among humans, it can be a something that no matter how long it’ll exists but they know it would be over some day for some known or sensible or even predictable reasons, and they like it but they know they can never count on it. You may not agree on the name but believe it or not, it really describes this so well. Consider the evening of the last day of a very sweet and desirable holiday, you like it so much that you might spend all the evening thinking of how bad that could be to lose such an opportunity for happiness and trying to find a way to keep it even for a second longer or any way to consume it more since it’s the last chance for you on that. So you’ll certainly spend those hours more awful than you could ever spend any other terrible time!
One Possible Answer :
Hey! Don’t be like that! Take it easy. That’s hard but it’s better for all of you to let it go instead of ruining everything just for a dream that can never come true...

Relationships

I always believed that there are two significant factors in every friendship that can highly describe it. And by those we can define any relationship between any groups of two or more people. These are The Type and The Value.

Talking of The Value, we can consider it somehow as strength, or effectiveness ratio, or something like them. That means if we consider some advantages and drawbacks, features, or predictable events for any Type, The Value is how powerful that can be. So we can consider it simply as a number in an infinite set of numbers – like natural numbers for example! Anyway in This definition we put all the meaning of any relation in its Type.

Now that we described The Value, I guess it’s the time to describe The Type. Type of a relationship is also a member of an infinite set, but this time it’s not easy to specify any special bound or specific definition of it and all its members, I mean there is no regular and formal definition for this set, and nobody can ever claim that he/she finds and completely understand all The Types which a relationship could have. But by some experimental analyses I found some frequent Types of relationships (Of curse that’s definitely MY PERSONAL IDEA) although these Types might seem to be only use for friendships but they could be even more general, from some simple relationships at an office to all other kind of relationships among any different kind of people in the world which I'll say at the later posts...!
