DEFINITION OF 4 FRIEND

What is a friend?I will tell you. It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked with him. He seemed to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to be better or worse. When you are with him you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, eX
 press what you feel. He IS shock ed at nothing. offended at noth- ing, so long as it is genuinely
 you. He understands those con- tradictions in your nature that leads others to misjudge you. With him you breathe free. You can take off your coat and loosen your collar. You can avOw your little vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meanness and ahsurdities. and in opening them unto him they are lost dissolved in the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands. You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him, neglect him, berate him. Best of ali, you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you. He is like fire, that purifies all you do. He is like. water, that cleanses all you say. He is like wine, that warns you to the bone. He under stands, he understands. he un- derstands' You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin with him, pray with him. Through and underneath it all he sees, knows and loves you. A friend, I repeat, is one with whom you dare to be yourself.
