I had initiated a chat on here today and I just reflected back on a thought I had before. Being the financially minded, I thought to myself "what percentage of people I encounter at a job or even in a forum online become the kind of friends that are then when you need to vent, talk or maybe just hangout?" ya know, like good friends. I thought to myself about the factory where I used to work and had a few good friends there but certainly not a lot of them. then I thought about my current job where there maybe 20 to 25 people in all. How many good friends? maybe 2 which comes to about 8%. How many at the factory where more employees? I had more than 2 but again the percentage is close to 5 to 10%. And I've fired some friends over the years and i'm sure some have fired me.

I was wondering if anybody else ever thought along those lines. Quite a few have come and gone but there seems to be a general "sift" of people through my thought processes. I seem to be a rather morally demanding person and those I see as loose with morals don't cut it. I guess i subconsciously sort them out.

There are some people who say they've only had one good friend their whole life. what say ya all?
