believe me, there are.

Lock, I have a feeling you're about to launch into some elaborate story about a sophisticated torture method, but I'm still interested in hearing you out.
Actually, yes, there is. When your friends are incredibly awful people, and at some point you realize that they probably shouldn't have been called friends in the first place.

No, friends are one thing, but *pig tails* are another – I think everyone understands the difference.

Malassa, you probably mean that it's okay to betray bad guys, right? Well, yes, actually. Are you saying it's okay to betray a friend to save the others? Well, only if the friend agrees... And have you ever watched Hollywood movies? They show something like this: terrorists capture, say, a bank full of people and demand that they be given, say, the mayor of the city. Do you think the police will agree? Of course not, they launch all sorts of deceptions, SWAT teams, etc. I think it's still not worth betraying friendship if it's real. The most valuable thing is friendship. Even Railegh would never betray his friends to the Overlord to get Isabel back. In short: Friendship is more valuable than love.

It’s unlikely that friendship is more valuable than love. It’s not a very good comparison. Strong friendship and true love are equally important – a person cannot do without either.

Often, by the way, the most egregious betrayals, including those of friends, are committed in the name of "love."

In general, you are right, but the thing is that love also has its own value, but love can fade, it can turn out to be a deception. So many films have been made and so many books have been written about *true* love that you can't read and watch them all. Now, show me a person in real life who has met true love?! And you will be confused, or you will resort to deception, or even worse, self-deception.
As NAU sings: Love is just a face on the wall, love is a gaze from the screen. I am not claiming that love does not exist, I am just saying that the word *true* is very questionable. However, it is possible that it exists, but I haven't seen or met it yet, and since that is the case, I will not believe that love is more important than friendship.
A friend is someone who will be with you even if you are wrong; when you are right, everyone will be with you.

This question has been raised many times throughout human history... And I was just thinking, which came first? Friendship or love? Actually, friendship and love can't be equally strong in one person; some people are more inclined towards friendship, while others are more inclined towards love.

initially, there was a herd-like, cooperative instinct.
however, this question has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

have you ever watched Hollywood movies? They show something like this: terrorists seize, say, a bank full of people and demand that they be given, say, the mayor of the city. Do you think the police will agree? Not likely. They deploy various deceptions, SWAT teams, and so on.

in reality, banks are usually seized for the money stored inside. and I don't understand what betrayal has to do with it.

if you compare betrayal for the sake of love and rejected love for the sake of friendship, then... the situation must be foolish.
I would choose the latter. "true love" doesn't arise out of thin air, but from communication and actions. but finding true friendship is sometimes much harder.

in my opinion, true friendship usually forms around the fifth grade. somewhere around that time. and then maybe with classmates. but love can happen at any time. therefore, friendship is more valuable because an adult is practically unable to find a new friend.

As a proponent of the creationism theory, I can answer without hesitation – love. It was the first, because God created man in His own image and likeness out of great and boundless love. But friendship, nevertheless, does not lose its significance because of this.
