friendships and their types

Friendship can not be properly defined as no borders have been set to make out the true definition of the word.
But through my eyes and experience they can be classified into few categories.
The first type of classification is according to the value of the relationship between the friends.

1)conditional 2)unconditional 3)mixed

Conditional friendships are basically mostly what friendships are about.75%of our friends and the friendship shared belong to this category.Why is it conditional?
People make use of other people all the time. Humans are social creature.

We live in community.We make groups and gangs for multiple reasons. For negative reasons,some people make groups as they think they are superior than others ad dislike the company of others. Some cant get along because of personal beliefs.While some need comfort and sense of acceptance when they join a group.

Conditional friendship=friendship formed for some purposes.(for example classmates,they might be friends on the surface but you cant turn to them when you are in real trouble.But you have to socialise with them because they are connected to you)other example is friendships between bosses and associates,housemates.

These kind of friendships just happen because they need to exist in order for the components of the relation to survive the situation to avoid conflict or to gain something from each other.They are not real as once the situation bends or when they no longer need you,the friendships will die.They will come as they go.

It is not sincere,wont stand through time,jealousy and back stabbing often happen.Sometimes it may cause unwanted stress and hatred in the relationship but we will move on the next day because we need to.

The other kind of friendship is what we can call as unconditional . It is pure,sincere and trustworthy. Trust comes with time and love comes from the heart.We would want to give the best to our friend without asking anything in return.We would side them even if they are the minority.We don't have to understand what they believe in but we will respect them. Support each other through thick and thin, share thoughts and happiness in life are the best things they do with each other. We only need few friends like this and we live in bliss..

These two types of friendship can morph and change according to situations and time.When we have unconditional friendship with other person, we hold an obligation to keep it that way as things can fade. No friendship lasts forever unless we intended to keep it that way.
