I have many friends, and i tend to give about these people as my own family. I never measure myself with others, i live free that is what i know. But quite a important part of my life is trying to implement Miyamoto Musashi's 12 rules, and the subset of those rules.

I have Realize that you cant have everything in this world.

-Know the advantages, and disadvantages of everything.

Also worth mentioning is that i like to spend money as soon as i get it. Mainly on the stuff that keeps me occopied, but also on my friends. Buying dinner, coffee, or just a random bottle of wine to show them how much i care for them..

I DONT do this to single woman (that are interested in me) i try to avoid them, with the thought they always have a hidden agenda.
