A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A 21 friend is someone who stays with you for life”. 22 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 23 .

friendship to develop. However, there can be 25 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.

The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark 31 is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must 32 slowly and carried on only if there are 33 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 34 of our friendship? The greatest is to 35 too
much too soon. Deep relationships 36 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. 37 , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must 38 as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 39 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 40 .
