Your Lennie

I am very attached to friendship and socializing with friend because I like the sense of having friends. I also like having a best friend. However, if my best friend Bob got hit by a car on the street and blood splattered all over the place with a few of his teeth and he resulted in a hospital with a severe brain damage that made him retarded. I would be as close to him because although I would feel sorry and bad for him, he's not fun anymore and he's not the person I like to hang out with anymore. I would still go visit him and talk to him sometimes but I wouldn't be as close to him. There are a few reasons for this. First, the reason he's my best friend is because of his qualities, humorous, caring, smart, and not uncomfortable to look at. After he got the brain damage that made him think like a 3rd grader or even worse, he would nearly lose all the qualities I like, if not all, therefore, if he does not posses the qualities of my best friend, he wouldn't be my best friend. Also, there's so only so much you can talk or do with a retard and that's the physical limitation of me being as close as I was with him before the accident. If my friends make fun of Bob, I would be upside but I would just go with it because as I mentioned, I enjoy friendship, and I'm not going to lose my friends by accepting half-a-friend. I would go meet him privately for about 5 minutes per visit. Our friendship will probably die out because there's really nothing I would enjoy doing with a retard.
