A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A   21   friend is someone who stays with you for life”.   22   teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily   23  .

It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place   24   enough for true

friendship to develop. However, there can be   25   disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.

have it clear in our minds the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or   27   at arm’s length? Do we want to   28   ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface?

The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark   31   is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must   32   slowly and carried on only if there are   33   of interest and action in return.

What are some of the   34   of our friendship? The greatest is to   35   too

much too soon. Deep relationships   36   time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention.   37  , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must   38   as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend   39   time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die   40   .
