I think friendship and love are the same things but if you mean the kind of love that involves infatuation, I think friendship is a lot more important. Love can be exciting for a short period of time but friendships last forever. If i had to choose between my "lover" and my best friend, i would definitely choose my best friend. But then again my "lover" can be my best friend. It all depends on the bond you share with that person.

If people ask me the question, I would always choose friendship over love. It's because friends would always be there for you no matter what you do, but love does not always last forever. I do not think it is right to become farther from your friends after you get into a romantic relationship. For me, I really do not want to get far away from my friends, so I try to balance my friendship and love. I think how people think about this question will vary because it can also be related to culture.

Well I would say that love is the most essential part of each and every relation in the world, people cannot live life without love, and friendship is a relationship which needs love and trust. I think a person can live without friend but can't live without love because it's the food of our soul, the person who can't love, then also can't make friend....

I don't think I will choose love... It depends on the situation and who the friend is but, I usually talk almost everything to my friends because it's friend, but even if I have a boyfriend, I will tell most of all about him to my friend... because girls like to share their episodes! I think that means I would rather choose friendship than love.

I think between love and friendship, love is more important if you are thinking in a long run. In your childhood, friendship might be important; being with the person you grow up together and learn. However, unconditional love is the most important aspect a human should have.

I'd have to say friendship is more important too. And for the same reasons that Bach gave. I also watched a lot of movies, read a lot of books, and played a lot of games where the main characters end up developing such strong bonds of friendship that they end up saving the kingdom/world/universe. I know that the bonds of friendship don't have the power to do that in real life, but I feel like love comes and goes, whereas friendship doesn't. However, I think that i'm one of the very few people who believe that though ._. I also believe that society is wrong to value love over friendship. While I think that friendship is more important, I think they both should be equal in the eyes of society. After all, I've been through so many friendships where they end up hanging out with me less because of their significant other, which bums me out to no end.

I think I value friendship more, friends whom you can rely on and would support you no matter what. True friends for me are people who understand you most and would alalways stand by your side. But i think love can form when you're attracted by someone evn though you dont hv full understanding of them. love comes and goes.

to me i think friendship and love are sort of same and related to each other its really hard to choose coz friendship is a type of love too and friendship can exist in your lover too and family. To be honest for me friends and family are everything but more importantly family is my biggest love coz u can have friends again and gf/bf too but u cant have a family again.

Most of you guys are saying that friendship is a typed of love and love is a type of friendship as well, I did know it which I have already narrowed the question down to "who do you choose If you have to choose between your lover (including your girlfriend,boyfriend, husband or wife) and your friend?". So to make it more clear, If your MARRIED LOVER and your BEST FRIEND are drowning in the ocean, and you can only save ONE person. Who do you save? Why TO me, as I mentioned above, I have grown in a place where the culture of fraternity or brotherhood are highly valued and appreciated. Also, I had a friend who lives with me like brother in family every times I goes back to my country. He taught me and helped me out with many things. Thus, I don't think I will take any girls in change of him.

I think love and friendship are kind of similar because friendship is loving your friends. It depends on but love can be brek easily but friendship goes foreever.

What is more important...love or friendship...hmmm...Well, I would choose love, because love isn't just love for the other sex, but, love can come in different shapes. Love can be for friends too. Love can be for family too. Love and friendship is same too me. Love IS friendship. I think love creates friendship. I can't see friendship and love being different from each other.
