   A high school history teacher once told us, "If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life." ???1????teaches that he was right. A good friendship is not easily ???2 ????.

   It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a???3 ??friendship to ???4 ??. However, there can be???5????disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kinds of friendships we want.

   To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to be clear in our???6 ????the kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be close or ???7 ????at arm's length?

   Do we want to ???8???ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are???9 ??enough—and that's all right. But at some point, we need to???10???that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of ??11 ??experience???12???our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it???13 ??be undertaken slowly and carried on only if there are???14???of interest and action in return.

   What are some of the???15 ??of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships???16 ????time. Another "major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one "possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships???17???actions in return. In???18 ???words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of?taking care of the friendship. Unless you spend???19 ??time together, talking on the phone, and writing letters, friendships will die???20 ???.
