True Friendship

Friendship succeeds when there is oneness in the natures of friends. There should be some affinity between two persons before they can call each other a friend. A man was known to have thought and eloquence will be silent in the company of his friend or uncle. But he will unfold himself in the company of those who enjoy his talk. For developing friendship there is the need of having that rare mean between likeness and unlikeness, that irritates each with the presence of power and of consent in the other party. A friend should be his real self at every moment. He should not overstep by a word or book, his real sympathy. A person should be a thorn in the flesh of his friend rather than being his echo. Two friends must have their individuality before they have an affinity. Friendship should be an alliance of two formidable natures. There is always harmony between friends.
