When I was a few years younger (maybe more then a few) I thought that joining a Frat was pathetic because you were in a sense paying for friends but as the years go bye and bye I gained additional wisdom that modified such a position. For in sense we all pay for friends whether it be through the clubs and organizations we join or even our educational pursuits, we all hope to gain a friend or two along the way. Many of us will even transfer out of such institutions or group even if we’re doing well and learning what we want if we don’t find the buddies to share it with. With that philosophy in mind I realized paying Google to broadcast my ideas to a larger audience, is a form of paying for friends as well and I’m okay with it. For friendship might have to start with a down payment but if you invest in the right friends it could be the best investment you’ve made in your life.
Further note I understand Sponge Bob & Patrick break this rule but they’re special.
