FRIENDSHIP
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
unnecessary, philosophy, friendship
A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
