What are friends for?

Sometimes in life we meet good and not so good friends. Recently someone asked me what am I looking for in my life? There is no right answers but I feel that a good friend will always direct you to a better path along the way. Its like when you are blind and about the bump into a wall, that friend will take your hand and lead you to an open safe path. And if your friend cares about you, they will support your good morals and advise you against the not so good ones. Well I guess I haven't found the friend that I am looking for. Am I giving up? No, not yet. Perhaps I will slow down a bit in my search and not be so trusting as I would like to. I guess its part of live, its part of learning, and its part of being a better person. I am sorry if I have hurt some friends along the way, and brush off some friends in some way. Its just that I have learned that I cannot compromise certain values that I believe in. And I definitely cannot please everybody. Of course, you can't force people to accept your values and your ways either. So, I am better off on my own.
