What's The Point Of Friendship?

Does anyone else feel like friendship is so temporary there is not point even trying? What's the point of buying my friend a birthday present when in two years (maybe less) we probably won't be in contact?

I just don't see the point...

Fellow human companionship, love and support?

It's not real though is it. My 'friends' can be nice to each other face to face, but will bitch about each other when they're gone.

I see you're irritated because you didn't get your birthday gift?

Someone to have a laugh at...
Make fun of other people with...
Insult with...

Most friends aren't like that and everyone needs to let off steam if someone has annoyed them

You'll need a bit on company if you feel down? and someone to make you laugh..though I agree it kind of pointless having someone that you believe after 1/2 years you won't stay in contact with! At least have one close friend that you are sure you'll stay in contact with..

My birthday is in July so...



They just end up laughing at each other, not with each other

Human beings are social beings, and I understand what you mean when you look at life through that perspective but life is a journey NOT a destination.

What this means is you do it because it's part of living; you're not rushing to get to an end destination because we all know what the end destination of life is...

What's the point of making your bed in the morning when you'll undo it again later that evening?

What the point in washing yourself and brushing your teeth when you're going to dirty them again?

What's the point in going outside when I have to come home later?

What's the point in making friends when friendship is temporary and people are always being replaced every few years or so.. ?

See where this is going?

Wise.

Your friends, even though they tend to be temporary, greatly influence how you act and they can even play a role in shaping your personality. You can learn a lot from your friends and even those that are around you, as well as your friends being able to learn things about you. Buying someone a birthday present is to make them feel good about themselves, it's an act to show you're happy that they're basically alive even if you don't end up being 'friends forever'. Your gift to them doesn't lose its worth as soon as you aren't friends anymore, they might have really appreciated it or they might not have at all but that's besides the point because that's just how life goes; friends come and go.
Maybe you feel like friendships are pointless because you haven't met anyone you consider to be a good friend yet or maybe you have had a really good friend but you aren't friends anymore and that's caused you to see it as pointless? I'm just assuming though

Yeah: what's the point of life?
