"Two are better than one; because they have a good
reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his
fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not
another to help him up."
- Bible: Ecclesiastes
"My friends are my estate. Forgive me then the
avarice to hoard them. They tell me those who were poor early have
different views of gold. I don’t know how that is. God is not so wary
as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him."

ya,i agree with you.sometimes i also confuse what friend is.
I think we can expect return but not as equal as what we had contributed loh.Because if there is no return at all,then that person you cannot even call him/her as “FRIEND” in the first place.
