Hi Bro, oh I meant to say Sis. Wait, what am I saying, he or she? I beg, choose the category that you belong to.
Now, let me ask you a question, do you have a friend? You have! Glory be to God. Oh, you don't have, there is no cause for alarm. Eh, you don't even know, that sounds interesting then. Okay, let me put it this way, are you a friend? Ah ah, you can't really say or probably you can't really say what a friend is. Okay, let's consider it briefly.
What is a friend?
I will tell you
It is a person you dear to be yourself
Your soul can be naked with him. He seems to ask you to put on nothing, only to be what you are.
He may not want you to be better but of course, he does not want you to be worse. When you are with him, you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent
You don't have to be on your guard, you can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you
He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With him, you breathe freely
You can abhor your little vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meanesses and absurdities; and in opening them up to him, they are lost, dissolved in the white ocean of his loyalty
He is like fire that purges to the bone. He understands. He understands
You can weep with him, sing with him, laugh with him, play with him
He understands. You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him
Through it all and underneath, he understands, he sees, he knows, he loves you
Best of all, you can keep still with him
It does not matter, he likes you
A friend! What is a friend? Just one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself
Hello mine, looking at this, it seems you don't have a friend right? There is no cause for alarm. Only one thing is needed. You try and become one! And then, we see what follows.........
