About This Quote

There are three types of friends: those who are like food without which you can't live, those who are like medicine which you need occasionally and those who are like an illness which you never want. This is about how a friend can be similar to food or medicine. Sometimes, you need friends who can help you when you have a problem. You might need a friend to help you with your homework, to hold your hand when you're upset, to cheer you up after a bad break up.

But sometimes, friendship can be more than just a friend. It can be like food or medicine. For example, most people know someone who is really close to them.

They share the same interests and they get along well together. But most people also know someone who is not very close with them, but they don't mind it because they know that person doesn't mean them any harm. That's the difference between friends like food and friends like medicine.
