A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A 1friend is someone who stays with you for life”. 2teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 3.
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place 4enough for true friendship to develop. However, there can be 5disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.

Do we want to 8ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 9enough. And that’s all right.
