The friendship

I often say that there are two kinds of friends: those who promise and those who do not. I prefer the ones that do not promise. Because those who promise are always promising things to themselves and usually do not fulfill their own desires. In the same way, they live promising things to others, and they never do. And the question is neither to comply or not, the point here is not to promise, but to do, to act naturally.

Friends who do not promise are natural, they are always unarmed. They do not feel obligated to pay debts, they do not appear just because they are missing you. Those who do not promise simply are friends. They visit when they feel like it, they call when they have something to say, they remember you without charge. They are friends with freedom.

Friend does not have to promise or charge anything from the other. You need it, and it’s there. Not because he promised, but because he loves you, because he loves you.

Being friends is having that subtle energy with someone. An energy that does not know where it comes from, but that appears and remains. Friend comes up. It may be for life, it may be within the family, but it is always someone with whom you have good energy to change. Friendship is when there is a natural and invisible bond that we feed if we want. It’s a reliable chemistry, a chemistry that only exists among friends.

Friends are people whom we receive with love without knowing exactly why.
