People who are ‘worth associating with’ are useful contacts, social workers, therapists or gurus. My friend may be a genius or an idiot, a saint or a sinner; they may be unreliable, unreasonable, unprofitable – but I like them., I may not even know why I like them, but if I do, that is a friend. It is only when dealing with people I don’t like that I need any morality, or any calculation of value. And that to me is the joy of friendship, that it does away with all the conflict of desire and duty, and the separation of me from another.<br />Best wishes, bobunenlightenedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711296867159960861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36538074.post-34864657233612051692007-01-16T14:16:00.000+00:002007-01-16T14:16:00.000+00:00Oh dear!

At first I thought it a bit displaced there as a simple traffic fishing. But then I saw what you're trying to do here. Congrats. <br />It would be great if you could open the trackback function on your blogger account. This way I can comment on your entry in my own blog.<br /><br />Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!Yseulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205345921317591522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36538074.post-35306121245172189742007-01-15T12:48:00.000+00:002007-01-15T12:48:00.000+00:00hi Dave ....such good words... i really liked your...hi Dave ....such good words... i really liked your post... and specially the photo of the two cats...thats so lovely ... well to share more thoughts u can sometimes drop by <a href="http://www.friendshipblog.blogspot.com"> My Friendship Blog</a>.... hope u will find it interesting..!!!Emmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342189545205589284noreply@blogger.com
