Is guilt to be expected when one messes with friends? Is the expectation that true friendship only comes in the form of honest, meaningful, shared moments? Or is it acceptable to cause suffering to friends and enjoy from their struggles? Is a life-time trolling acceptable? Before your imagination takes it one step too far, let’s clarify what kind of suffering I’m referring to. We are talking about causing partial frustration rather than long-lived pain. Like, making their internet browsing experience miserable while they are connected to your Wi-Fi by having random pages load when they access any of their social media accounts. Maybe this is too childish, tho. I wish I could share some of the more interesting jokes (?) but I would rather keep them for my own amusement.

Point is, the way we live friendship depends on our cultures just as much as how long it takes for us to call someone friend. From where I am from, everyone is your friend and the strength of the friendship is measured based on how far you can take your trolling without compromising the relationship.
