he never declines our presence, now does he. His generosity is often overlooked, but he faithfully goes about his day-to-day duty of being there for whomever may need him next.

Even though most seek comfort in him, there are those who experience tremendous pain after a trip to the porcelain god and sometimes even a lapse in memory. Again, this is not his fault. It is usually the fault of the events of the day or evening, but it is only the memory of him that remains in the mind. This is why the finger tends to point to him in blame. In spite of it all, he continues to be there, ready to listen to you time and again. He knows there will be a next time, although you swear there will not be.

We must also keep in mind that he will not rub your mistakes or foolish antics in your face, nor will he remind you of the promise you made and once again broke. He will not taunt or talk back. He may smirk internally at your idiocy, but that is as far as the insults will go. He wishes not to inflict any more pain than is obviously felt at the moment, for he already knows what you will be feeling in the coming morning.

He is truly a friend, and an incredible one at that. Buddies from your school days come and go. Relationships bind, bend, and break. As for the porcelain god, he will be there, truly, until death do you part. Regardless of the situation, he is and will always be there through anything that you bring his way, be it thick or thin.
