Hi Elza and malik*k1,
Thank you for your intervention.
To Elza: I think that the way you love your friends is not the same as you love your
sweetheart. Is not it? Besides, friendship allows us to be lovers whereas love does not allow us to be friends. You see what I mean?
To Malik*k1: I appreciated a lot the definition you provided about friendship. This extract really shows the different steps friendhsip tests before being a true one.
Best regards

Friendship make prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it. Cicero, On Friendship, 44 B.C.
Roman author, orator, & politician (106 BC - 43 BC)
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. George Washington
First president of US (1732 - 1799)
