Tonight we had a farewell party for one of our colleagues who came here a year ago for exchange scholar from the Philippines. He's about to leave here soon.
'This is the beginning of our true friendship.' This word came to be my famous last word to him.
Men and women are physical relationship. The relationship is likely to cease when they leave. Between men and men are of course spiritual relationship. Spiritual relationship will start strengthening itself as they left.

Not all, there are always exeptions. I have friends who are male and we remain friends.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for finding a friend in him.
Many years ago one pretty young single girl talked to me when I was browsing an English book in Rainbow plaza -meeting place for foreign people. We had a meal a couple of times since then. But she was not my type. I mean she didn't attract me sexually. We had date four or five times, talked about various things. Basically we both studied abroad, so we had a common topic. Love makes our interest closer, but we had just the lack of love. We stopped meeting soon.I guess I had a countless examples for this lack of love. Love is not particularly different from friendship, but love just makes our friendship perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is a very broad issue - love. I think this depends merely on the spiritual level. People call love what is between a man and a woman when they court each other. For me, this isn´t. This is courting.
ReplyDeleteLove is not something you leave home when you go to work. Or it isn´t something you can do later.
Friendship requires likeness and appeal. Love doesn´t.
Love is a state. It is much more the one who loves than the one loved. Love doesn´t need an object. It is complete as such.
At least for me love requires an object. Love doesn't finish in itself.
