On Friendship

I got a forwarded e-mail from Tine yesterday full of nice pictures and this is one of my favorites. It makes me feel so thankful that I've had several close friends throughout my life who would never let me fall. Even in circumstances when they can't pull me up, exactly like the caption states. Or perhaps once in a while in some unseen circumstances they'd accompany me and we fall together. Suffering together is somehow fun coz you can complain to each other without feeling bad.

Several things that I have learnt about friendship:

1. It's a two-way relationship (duh...). Thus, no one can be forced into it.

2. It takes time. A lot of time.

3. You know that you're truly a friend to a person when you feel comfortable being together in silence.

4. True friend can be angry to each other but never jealous.

5. Most of them will eventually dim, but never be gone.
