I think friendship is more important.It is a mere and miserable solitude to want true friends,withou which the world is but a wilderness.Do you think friendship means a great deal to us.True friendship is worth more than money.Love can make you happy and warm but often it hurts you.

some time you need to love a person , some times you need to like a person , some times you feel you want to be with a person and some times...... it means that all the time we are running away from being ALONE!!! so no matter love is better or other relationships the most important thing is that i need all my friends and beside them i need my lover to be with me , with out my freinds , my family and my love i can't countinue my life. that's my idea...in this way i try to find more friends to like and love.

Since love is attached to friendship .. Friendship is all the more important to me . True friendship ..it is an identity of souls very rarely to be found in this world . Good friendship is real bliss and all of us should aspire for it .

For me love is important..just like what in the bible said...that among all things, love is the greatest. Friendship won't exist without love...I'm not only talking about the love between lovers but I'm also talking about the love between mother and child, siblings, and friends.

Hi, i think both of them are different from each other, both have their own place and value,and they both are very important in life. We cannot do with just one of them , as both do come into our lives sometime or the other. Friendship i agree comes in first, when we are young,and lasts us a lifetime if we maintain it too, and love comes from the start, first for our mother, father, relations and then friends and then when that friendship may turn into your true love. For me love is important now in my life as my husband, my ture love, is my friend also, so i have a combination of both the things too. !! Love hurts and we also hurt the people whom we love, the most. All relationships have their ups and downs too, but that is what life is all about, isnt it. :)

Friendship: They are there for you all the time, providing you a shoulder to cry from when you failed your exams, when you are scolded by a teacher or your parents, share your secrets with, stick with you thick and thin and through trying times, share your gossip with you and hang out with you after school and most possibly get into trouble with you and yet still be able to laugh it off with you. Love: It comes and goes, just like a rainy weather. Always inclined to run off when big trouble comes and might not necessary be there when you need someone to cry or gripe to. All in all, friendships can withstand all time, better than love can. Do you think you can talk about girly gossips with your boy/girl friend naturally as you do with your friends? I doubt so, so friendship is naturally very important to me, much more than love.

Hi,purple99! I believe both of the two items cannot be seperated.Because we can gain both love and friendship from our friends.Personally,I prefer friendship.If there is no lover in my life,I can live as usual,but if there is no friend in my life,I guess I cannot stand my life. Happy mylotting!

I agree with you that friendship is more important. You can have a lot of friends and enjoy being with them... you are flexible, what a great advantage. I have thought about having boyfriends/girlfriends. Having a special someone is not bad but it closes some other relationships. ~mar

Well actually I think friendship isn't so far away from love because you can say you feel love for your friends, not the same love you feel for the person you're dating of course, but it's love anyway So for me, I can't choose one I love my boyfriend (André), but he's also my best friend And I can say I love my two other best friends (Talita & Janaina)

Hi purple99! :) I'd rather go for friendship. A long-lasting relationship must have a solid foundation on friendship. And usually, it starts with great friendships. :) But if you feel something for another person, you better take the risk to let the person know rather than continue on wondering about whether he feels something for you later on. Who knows? Your friendship may lead to love. (",) Enjoy your weekend! Take care and God bless! \(",)_

form my pointof view,friendly sebtiment is very difficult to replace on this world,which regardless of is in,friendly sentiment always can help you, love is we need ,but is less important to friendship!!

i also think friendship is more important than love,expecially the ture friend.the best friend almost was maked in one's childhood,and would go on with for one's whole life,but the love just for the rest of one's life.so we must keep our friendship,and don't break up easily.

well, it depends what kind of love it is and about what kind of friendship we are talking about... If we are talking about some real love and relationship that last for couple years than love should be more important but in other hand if we are talking about some 'crash' than friends should be more important, after all, love come and pass, but friends stay forever...

i think friendship and love should go together and one could not really live without the other because friendship is about loving and accepting someone for and despite of who he/she is. romance though is totally different, it's temporary and it is romance that hurts us because of the failed expectations and what not. love and friendship are both permanent. or at least if you keep them permanent then they actually last a lifetime. if it were between romance and friendship though, i'd take the latter in a heartbeat.
