"More valuable than gold!"

Friendship

Each of us hungers for, and must have friendship.
We are not primitive, nor basically aggressive,
so we crave a feeling to share and to be curious.
Most satisfaction for each of us is found in our
genuine and solid friendships with others. And,
whether we admit it or not, we must have constant
validation of who we are and what we do with life.
Being bitter, jealous, competitive or boastful does
not contribute to good friendship. In addition,
borrowing, gossiping, and using one's friends for
personal gain, will soon damage any friendship. .
The greatest quality in maintaining a mature
friendship is a comfortable feeling between two.
An ideal relationship includes fun, trust, support,
and that elusive thing we like to call, closeness.
