"On Friendship"
A young man continued, please talk about friendship for us.
He replied:
Your friends are the satisfaction of your needs.
He is the field that you sow with love and reap with gratitude.
He is also your dining table and your fireplace.
When you are hungry you will come to Him and seek peace from Him.
When your friend pours out his or her feelings, don’t be afraid to say what’s in your heart, and don’t hide what’s in your heart.
When he is silent, your heart can still listen to his heart.
Because in the self-evident friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and enjoyed in indescribable joy;
When you are separated from your friends, you will not be sad.
Kahlil Gibran's works
Because when he is not around, the things you truly love about him will appear more conspicuous, just like the mountains appear to the climbers on the plains. .
Don’t have any other intentions for your friendship, other than pursuing the deep cultivation of your soul.
Because love that only seeks to express itself without seeking anything else is not true love, but a net cast out, which catches all useless things.
Give your best to your friends.
If he must know your emotional lows, then tell him your highs as well.
Because if you are just looking for friends to kill time, can they be considered your friends?
You should always invite your friends to enjoy life.
Because friends want to bring you to meet your needs, not to fill your emptiness.
Laugh to your heart’s content and share the joy under the nourishment of friendship!
Because in the subtle dewdrops, your heart will find a renewed morning light. ;
