2 ▼ January 16, 1998 ▼ Just out Friendly Advice There are different levels of friendship, different levels by which we know and are known by others.We all seek people whose company gladdens us and keeps us from loneliness, but the friend who knows us inside and out, the good and the ugly, is rare indeed. One Biblical Proverb reads: A man of many companions may come to ruin, But there is a friend who stands closer than a brother. Not all of us are blessed to have such a friend for vari ous reasons. We may not know how to be close to another if sexuality isn’t part of the picture. For some, friendship is merely an amusement, an anodyne to feeling bored, while many find the risk of being known too intimately by another intolerably threatening.Yet without genuine, deep friendship, with whom will we share our sorrows and joys, our hopes and our dreams? It makes sense to devote at least as much time and care to seeking and maintaining good friends as we do to building careers and making money. Who we become as we grow older depends on, in good part, with whom we share our time. Good friends reinforce our deepest values and challenge us to lead lives of integrity. Each of us needs to take responsibility to be a good friend and to seek others worthy of our most authentic self. A New Dental Research Study at Russell Street Clinic Are You HIV POSITIVE?
