How far would you keep a friendship?

Is it due to being friends a long time that regardless the imperfections you are willing to look at it blindly?
Is it because you need friends, that you keep them even though you feel you're not really a part of their group?
I have people telling me that they're friends are not really happy whenever they're successful, to the point of obviously flaunting their jealousy. I have to ask then, why keep these people as friends?

In my point of view, friends like that are just the jealous type that doesn't have other friends to be with. Most of my friends are positive and we all treat each other with respect and always praise each other of each others work. The way I see it is, if you work hard to get somewhere, and your friend(s) can't appreciate it, then they aren't really friends, they're just jealous because you achieve something and they didn't because they did nothing. A friend wouldn't really care or hate you for what you can do or can't but how you two treat each other. I have the same respect my friends give me, that's how friendship can always grow and stay together. Then again, that's my opinions and my experience, someone else can be totally different.

You are lucky to have those types of friends. I guess when the friendship is longer, people would get overly comfortable with each other that they tend to be insensitive to the point of no longer respecting the other. Then we realize, we don't know who we're friends with really.
Thanks for you response.

In a friendship, you have to accept each flaws and lapses. Nobody is perfect, if you are looking for a perfect friend then it's like looking for a diamond in a seashore.
That's what friends are for, to be there at good times and even at bad times.
No matter what happened, a true friend will always be there.

I keep friends that are worth to be kept off. Even though that I have had arguments with my closest friends, I still try to make it up with them. In any group, there will always be a strongest and a weakest link. I don't mind if I'm the weakest link on the group (less successful) as long as we still have each other.
