It's a common topic, I know, but such a complicated thing to deal with. It's so easy to give advises regarding this matter but when you're already in the midst of the situation where you have to choose one over the other, it seems like it takes a lifetime to decide. You have to think about it all over and over again so as not to regret at the end. Which one do you think will mostly prevail? Should you choose to keep your friendship all along or should you fight for the love that you believe in? Think, think, think.

Friendship is considered one of the central human experiences, and has been sanctified by all major religions. The Greco-Roman had, as a paramount example, the friendship of Orestes and Pylades. The Abrahamic faiths have the story of David and Jonathan. The Christian Gospels state that Jesus Christ declared, "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness. Depending on context, love can have a wide variety of intended meanings. SO if you see the definition the love and friendship are co- related. So what prevails, when you love your friend, love prevails as well as friendship.

You have a point. But what I meant about this discussion is whether you choose friendship or the one that you love? Im sorry if I confused you. BUt I appreciate your idea, though. Love prevails not only in friendship but as well as all the relationships you have with other people too. But if you are really to choose between a friend and a lover, who would you choose? In general,which one would mosttly prevail?

For me, I'll go for the love. If ever you fall for a friend, it's not wrong to tell her that you feel something for her. it's not a sin. it's a reality. most of us thinks that we might ruin the friendship if ever we approach a friend and tell them that we love them but in reality the more that you keep it to yourself, the more you ruin your friendship. what will happen is you'll try to be just the same guy but what the other person will see is another individual and everything will just result to something that is not really good.
