① What is the first quality for true friendship
and what does it tell you ?
It is unselfishness. It tells me that a man who is
concerned only with his own interests and feelings
cannot be a true friend. (lines: 5-8)
Why are changeable and uncertain people
incapable of true friendship ?
Because they take up an interest with enthusiasm but
they are soon tired of it and they feel the attraction of
some new object.(lines: 9-12)
What is the third quality for true friendship
and what does it tell you ?
It is loyalty. It tells me that the two friends must be loyal
to each other, and they must know each other so well
that there can no suspicions between them. (lines: 1317)
Why must there be a mutual trust between
friends ?
If not, people cannot feel safe when telling the other
their most intimate secrets. (lines;18- 20)
Why can’t people who talk too much keep a
friend long ?
Because they cannot keep secrets either of their own or
those of others. (lines: 20- 21)
What is the last quality for true friendship
and what does it tell you ?
It is sympathy.It tells us that to be a true friend you
must sympathize with your friend. Where there’s no
mutual sympathy between friends, there’s no true
friendship. (lines: 22- 24)
