True friendships... do they exsist?

I work closely with a realtor whom which I consider to be a very intelligent individual, with a doctorate degree among many other achievements to their name. This individual once told me that they "Do not believe in friends and friendship" that friends/friendships are somewhat of a happenstance and mearly a product, which is that of convenience. I have found this presumption to be true in life, time and time again... It seems friendship is based somewhat on worth, and what the other can provide. Most friendships, it seems, are born from that of boredom, working relationships are born out of comfort, they say "misery loves company". Hence, the working relationships, acquaintances, turned friendships. And friends whom you have known most of your life, seem to disappear one by one over time. And when they do, it seems that the distance between your so called friendships is best left as such. Most, so called friends disappear at the very moment in which they are emotionally needed the most. And when it really comes down to it, family is the truest and most reliable source of friendship, and at times that is not saying much either... I have become disillusioned by most of the human race thus far. It seems anytime you allow another to hold what is precious to you, they are usually reckless and break it or damage it in some way or another. Eventually the damage has been done a little at a time, until their is nothing more left to damage, and it is at this time, if your emotionally adult enough, you hold no ill will toward them. Emotions become host to the pity which you hold in their memory. As our lord once said "Forgive them, for they know not what they do". I have few, which I call friend, however, I know that ultimately, when it comes right down to it. I am my own best friend, as well as my own worst enemy. Any thoughts???
