the oxford dictionary of philosophy states:
"Aristotle writes that ‘the excellent person is related to his friend in the same way as he is related to himself, since a friend is another self; and therefore, just as his own being is choice-worthy for him, the friend's being is choice-worthy for him in the same or a similar way.’ Friendship therefore opens the door to an escape from egoism or belief that the rational course of action is always to pursue one's own self-interest..."
the devil's dictionary defines "friendship" as:
FRIENDSHIP, n. A ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but only one in foul.
note: devil= opposite of right and true, therefore, definition= opposite of right and true
note: it is still funny, and makes a good point
interesting words on friendship from famous-like people:
"The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A true friend stabs you in the front."
- Oscar Wilde
"A friend to all is a friend to none."
- Aristotle
soo...
the point is...
yeah, i dont have one.
well, i do. but...
let's just say that i would rather not elaborate at the current time. i think that, if i tried, i might explode all over my blog, leaving bits and pieces of my thoughts in the forms of sentence fragments, made-up words, and vowel-less expletives. needless to say, it is better that i leave the topic alone for the rest of the evening before letting my words go ahead of my thinking.
gooooodnight.
