The older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情)I have in maintaining(维持) old friendships and building up new ones.
Sunny, one of my dearest friends at work, will leave the office next month for a better job. He is not my first friend from the office to say goodbye. Over the years, there have been a handful of workmates who became friends. In recent times, at least three others have also left. So, next month, I’ll say goodbye to Sunny and I am left with one friend fewer at work. When Sunny told me that he was leaving, I sighed:" With you gone, I will have hardly any friends left in the office!”
I began to think: At what point does a workmate become a friend? And, to take a step back, what does “friendship” mean? Indeed, what makes you form a friendship with a person, but not some other? If a friend is a person I feel completely comfortable calling up at 3 am to get me out of trouble—as Sunny will do—then I don’t have that many friends. Other than family members, I can depend on just one female friend and three, at best four, male friends. But then, maybe that’s plenty. As someone said, one friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible.
Friendships are different form relationships. You can be great friends with your partner, of course, but a relationship is so much more complex(复杂). It is not only about that wonderful feeling called love, but also a collection of emotions like jealousy,. resentment(不满), anger, pain and despair(绝望). Friendship is simpler and fills you, mostly, with positive emotions—kindness, fondness, warmth and honesty. With a lover, you make demands and have expectations. But with a friend, you’re cool. You don’t really owe him anything, or have to explain much, because you demand nothing more from each other than pleasant company(陪伴)and an occasional listening ear.
Love, I read somewhere, is blind, but friendship closes its eyes. How true.
