Friendship

Some recent events in my life made me to think, what are friends? Something across, I came along!

A friend is defined as somebody emotionally close to another: somebody who has a close personal relationship of mutual affection and trust with another; acquaintance: somebody who has a casual relationship with another, for example, a business acquaintance; ally: somebody who is not an enemy; or an advocate of a cause: somebody who defends or supports a cause, group, or principle, but I believe that a friend is much more than what a dictionary can describe.

In my opinion, if a friend is a good friend and is willing to except their own mistakes and faults as a person, you will get along with them for as long as you are in contact with them.

A principal fruit of friendship is the ease and discharge of the fullness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do cause and induce. We know diseases of stoppings and suffocations are the most dangerous in the body, and it is not much otherwise in the mind: you may take sarza to open the liver, steel to open the spleen, flowers of sulphur for the lungs, castoreum for the brain; but no receipt openeth the heart but a true friend, to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes, suspicions, counsels, and whatsoever lieth upon the heart to oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift or confession.
