I've always wondered... why be friends with people you don't respect? There's a big difference between civility and being friends with someone. The dynamics are totally different. How many of us would like finding out that the people we think of us "friends" actually don't like us, but hang out with us out of a misguided sense of inclusion, or worse, pity? Friendship is something beautiful and we would all like to believe that to some degree, we can trust the people we call friends. But when dynamics like these come into play, it jeopardizes the very structure on which friendship should be built. And I find that incredibly sad.
