...require effort to keep... You can say that again. The way I had put it, a "true friend" is someone we can count on to support us. And there are "friends" just like that, where all the support and loyalty turns out to be on one side only. You have to give as much as you get, and maybe that's why true friendships are so rare.

Hi X, Re: <<I agree with you about the "true friends". They are nice to have, and rare, and require a great deal of time to discern, and like any good relationship, require effort to keep. >> I am not certain that "true friends" require a lot of effort to keep, once they are made.. Maybe if effort is defined as looking past their "warts".. it is. But a person in the process of making a "true friend" already learns that, takes it into account while making one, so it shouldn't take any effort doing so, once a friend is made.. A "labor of love" like courting, is making a true friend..that can be curtailed at any time by either one when a insurmountable obstacle is encountered. Maybe a sixth sense is required in friendship.. Anyway those are my thoughts from a beautiful evening from the eastern slope... Where my friends are few.. But also very true... With the flax now being.. very blue.. m
