Define "friend"

Family is different, more on that later.

Some people think a friend is a person that they have met several times.

A friend to me...I would kill or die for that person.
Never been in the military, if that matters.

Therefore I can count my friends on one hand.
Although I have many acquaintances for whom I will help in a heart beat, sometimes to my detriment.

How about you? I doubt we think the same, that would be very boring.
