of friendship

I am a good beast, companions do not need to panic, and my mouth is used to bite the enemy's throat, protect the friendship is no longer injured. Friends, why do you hide from me, I also received a lot of trauma, but a strong friendship is my strength.

IT HAD been challenging for him that spake it to have put a lot more truth and untruth together in couple of words, than in that speech, Whatsoever is delighted in solitude, is either a wild beast or a god. For it's most true, that a natural and secret hatred, and aversation towards society, in any man, hath somewhat of the savage beast; however it is most untrue, that it will need to have any character at all, of the divine nature; except it proceed, not out of a pleasure in solitude, but out of a really like and desire to sequester a man's self, for a greater conversation: for example is found to have been falsely and feignedly in a number of the heathen; as Epimenides the Canadian, Numa the Roman, Empedocles the Sicilian, and Apollonius of Tyana; and genuinely and seriously, in divers of the ancient hermits and holy fathers of the church. But little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth. For a crowd isn't business; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there isn't any adore. The Latin adage meeteth with it a bit: Magna civitas , magna solitudo; because in a fantastic town friends are scattered; so that there's not that fellowship, for essentially the most part, which is in less neighborhoods. But we may perhaps go further, and affirm most truly, that it is a mere and miserable??solitude to want accurate pals; with out which the??world is but a wilderness; and even in this sense also of solitude, whosoever inside the frame of his nature and affections, is unfit for friendship, he taketh it of the beast, and not from humanity. A principal fruit of friendship, will be the ease and discharge of the fulness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do trigger and induce. We know illnesses of stoppings, and suffocations, are one of the most dangerous within the body; and it's not much otherwise in the mind; you may take sarza to open the liver, steel to open the spleen, flowers of sulphur for the lungs, castoreum for the brain; but no receipt openeth the heart, but a true friend; to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes, suspicions, counsels, and whatsoever lieth upon the heart to oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift or confession.
