"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -- Aristotle
Reclaiming Friendship
Is friendship indispensable or have we corroded its meaning by applying the word too often when we mean 'acquaintance' or colleague? C.S. Lewis believed that friendship, "like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself ... has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival." Maria Popova examines the meaning of friendship in detail, and concludes that, at least for her, it is indispensable to survival. Perhaps that's true of you, too.
BE THE CHANGE
Call an old friend today. Someone you haven't spoken to in awhile, and who holds a special place in your heart.
