RE: A lack of slap

I feel that if a friendship is affected because some truths are told, it was not really a friendship. In recent years there has been a proliferation of "cronyism" on the networks. Facebook sold the idea of having a million friends and people bought the idea. I think we can say colleagues, family, co-workers, but friend is something else. I have friends who are from the Chavista government and I don't hesitate to discuss the evils of this government with them. There are moments when the discussions are heated, but I have never felt that our friendship has been damaged by these impasses. I believe that when we want something from other people, when we seek to ingratiate ourselves, we play the game of remaining silent. Friendship has overcome all that. A nice afternoon, @tarazkp

And then they don't seem to realize that they are only seeing a tiny fragment of the feed, specifically selected for them to drive their thinking and emotions.

I think in many cases, the blood of friends is thicker than that of family.
