The book (maybe a booklet?
Since its only 55 pages) is old and sometimes hard to read—old English. But the
basic idea of this book is this: the two foundations of friendship are 1)
Truth, and 2) Tenderness. And if I can summaries it in one word, it will be -
love. Yesterday, I spent time with my good friends, and it confirms that these
foundations are right and crucial!
Ralph Waldo, a
philosopher, and a poet wrote, "The
glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the
joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when
you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with
a friendship." Overall, I think Waldo's ideal friendship is a bit too
high and too grandiose. Nevertheless, in today's hyper-connected society,
excellent and trustful friends are hard to get. If you have one or two, you're
blessed indeed. I thank God for my friends! 😊⚡📖
