A FRIEND is a person who
is for you always... He wants
nothing from you except that you
be yourself. He is the one being
with whom you can feel safe.
With him you can utter your
heart, its badness and its
goodness. Like the shade of a
great tree in the noonday heat is
a friend.
Like the home port with your
country's flag flying after a long
journey is a friend. A friend is
an impregnable citadel of refuge
in the strife of existence. It is he
that keeps alive your faith in
human nature, that makes you
believe that it is a good universe.
He is the antidote to despair, the
elixir of hope, the tonic for
depression... Give to him without
reluctance.
