To a SPECIAL Friend

 

A friend is a friend, by definition and daily practice. His grief is our grief, his pain, ours. So is his joy as is his laughter. 

A friend doesn’t cry; he just completes our tears. 

A friend resists the harshest of erosions, that of time and of distance. One second he’s gone is an eternity of loneliness, whilst a conversation just continues even if interrupted for just some years. 

A friend owes us nothing, as we owe nothing to him. The balance-sheet between us is a clean slate. There’s no favors, no paybacks. Only that special something that makes us just want to do whatever is needed to be done, be it, or not, a sacrifice, that stops being one just because of him. 

A friend never asks, never expects. Love is intensity, is passion.  

Friendship is trust. 

A friend knows all our secrets, not because we’ve told him, but because he heard all of them them from our silences. 

There’s nothing worse than a betrayal from a friend, nothing better than a soothing comfort that he may provide. 

 To go through life without love is sad, to go without friendship is tragic. 

A friend is the greatest wealth of all. 

A friend is never down; he’s just giving us the opportunity with the associated pleasure of letting us help him.  
To be able hold a friend’s hand in time of his need, is all that this life is about.

  5. "Amigo"

    Mal nos conhecemos
    Inaugurámos a palavra «amigo».

    «Amigo» é um sorriso
    De boca em boca,
    Um olhar bem limpo,
    Uma casa, mesmo modesta, que se oferece,
    Um coração pronto a pulsar
    Na nossa mão!

    «Amigo» (recordam-se, vocês aí,
    Escrupulosos detritos?)
    «Amigo» é o contrário de inimigo!
    «Amigo» é o erro corrigido,

    Não o erro perseguido, explorado,
    É a verdade partilhada, praticada.

    «Amigo» é a solidão derrotada!

    «Amigo» é uma grande tarefa,
    Um trabalho sem fim,
    Um espaço útil, um tempo fértil,
    «Amigo» vai ser, é já uma grande festa!

    Alexandre O’Neill, in No Reino da Dinamarca
