THREE IS A CROWD

It is not about the number of teeth in the mouth that fails to crack a bone but the few of 2 or 3 that could break it through to the marrow.

Happy Sunday and I hope we all had a great time for the weekend in general.

The statement on the first paragraph which is a saying in my tribe fully supports my notion on this prompt cos I would gladly say that it is far better to have just a few friends who are real genuine friends and could stand in for one another in times of trouble of jollification than having many acquaintances with no purpose or meanings.
I read a friend's post and he was saying "if you check your circle of friends and it's not the one you could urgently raise at least 500k in few minutes, then you need to restrategise".

I'm not saying friendships should be made on a note of getting something in return but we all know and have the reasons why we make our particular choices of friends.
You would see some making their choice of friends in categories. They have the friends they know they can call when it's time to go clubbing and they have the set of friends they could go to when they are in a state of dilemma to get advice or seek for urgent financial aid to return later.

However for making genuine close friendships, I prefer it been few.. cos I've witness a group of friends being many and ends up having set of Judas that backbites behind themselves and they called themselves friends and just like a saying that says 3 is a crowd, having too many friends makes you wanna be a prey in the end.

For me, I would rather choose to have a few circle of good friends of these three different levels which are:

  • The one that is higher than me either in status or intellectual
  • The one that we are of the same level and could rub minds
  • The one that I am slightly above that could probably learn from me

This way, we would always be there for one another. Having it many could make one lose one's path and focus cos no matter how we try to stay being a sheep among a group of dogs, it's still possible that we would emulate their habit of eating faeces someday.

I'll be dropping my 🖊️ here on the Weekend Experiences community prompt

Thanks for reading through 🤗

Happy Sunday!
Like you, I also prefer having few friends but true, rather than having lots of friends but fake.

I'm this kind of person that's jovial and free to everyone but I only have few friends that I can relay on in terms of troubles. Yes, even if I want to have another friends I will choose the three things you mentioned because why having friends that can't help you.

That's just it. Being jovial doesn't necessarily mean we should keep them all close to us and I'm glad you found those three useful

Amazing feeling over here on receiving my close circle as they came around to welcome my new beautiful daughter this evening

Few friends with relevance are better than a milliin without significants
