Friend vs. Brother

What would I rather be seen as, a Friend or a Brother?

A Friend will share your secrets, your burdens, your pains, your struggles.

A Brother will love you unconditionally.

How about this?

A Brother who tries to be a Friend will do both.

A Friend will rarely try to be a Brother.

Brotherhood (and for that matter, sisterhood) is something that we cannot run away from. It is God's command. To love each other, I mean. But one still chooses who to be friends with.

Just because you're my Brother, doesn't mean I'll share my deepest feelings and thoughts with you as a Friend.

Just because you're not my Friend, doesn't mean I shouldn't love you as a Brother.
