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.

Alternative: Straying from what is considered normal: different; the choice between two
mutually exclusive possibilities. To say, "I am alternative," is to say, "I am leading a different
lifestyle from mainstream society: honoring diversity, building community and creating a
lifestyle that promotes the health and well-being of our planet."
