Human friendship

One of the interesting parodies between Startrek and our experiences is one
called "friendship"
You will note how in Startrek - the humans sought to teach Hugh - a Borg -
about human friendship - claiming this was something humans had that was
really great.

Humans have what we call "Good time friendship".
If we are happy - in a good mood - the entertainer - they seek out our
friendship and are very happy to be our friends.
But in bad times - they very much make themselves scarce.

If for example - we are "on holiday" with humans or family - and we are
happy - laughing - having good time - they are very good. They love having us
and say we increase their enjoyment and happiness and like to be our friends.
But if we have "breakdown" or problems of this nature - and the humans think
we may spoil their good time and happy holiday - we would be treated like
suitcase and put on plane and "got rid of".
There would for example with humans - be no question of trying to help us -
or talk to us - but merely the decision that we would spoil their holiday and
thus must be got rid of.

But there are plenty of examples of people who are good and bad time
friends, those who don't let good or bad times effect friendship. So
what is new here?

We have no experience of this ourselves and thus we judge humans and prove
humans by our own experience of them.
We have proved satisfactorily the nature of human friendship thank you.
