WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL lf! 9' .F -: Q 1 i-' - l- 3 f I ' 'N K ' ,5 ilvESA 4g ag'-f ri 4:-sL'- FT LITEIR If-R Friendship Such a hard thing to define, this word friendship. It is so varied and so stead- fast, so loyal and so critical, so deep and so light. It contradicts itself, but it is always there, clear, yet difficult to express. There are so manv phrases to friend- ship. It may be personal, an inter- change of private thoughts. It may be in business, where two well-known cap- italists find amusement in meeting and talking economics over their cigars. Or it may be social, when people simply like each other for a good time. But it is so necessary! Necessary for any kind of mental or physical advance. Most of all necessary for our happiness. It is nice to believe in the completeness of' self-dependence, but, as somebody has said, What is life without a friend to dissipate our gloom! However suc- cessful we may seem to be in self-reli- ance, in every life the1'e is a time when we become disgusted with our very own souls, when we are twisted by our own snug ambition. Then we need someone who will both tear us down and build us up, but who will finally restore to us the confidence we have lost. Yet, too many times, a friend be- comes a sort of doormat to which we turn only in times of repentance or -if , need. We forget friends, when we don't need them. Still, we always need friends! Why is it, then, that we can't all of us take the attitude of Words- worth, who nobly exclaims: Small ser- vice is true service while it lasts-of humblest friends, bright creature, scorn not one! . . . ? ' The only answer, of course. is selfish- ness. I think there is a certain amount of selfishness in everyone. Sometimes we are not aware of our selfishness, which doesn't necessarily take the form of grabbing everything, or conceit. Maybe we need selfishness. It is too much for me to figure out. At any rate, this vice for virtueb is a distinct handicap to friendship. In being f'riends ' you've got to forget yourself, put yourself in the other fel- low's place. You can't depend on the magnetism of your own character to attract others. Reason No. 1, magnet- ism, even in a genius, is said to be er- ratic. Reason No. 2, your friends are just as selfish as you are, and Want to consider themselves once in a while. As Emerson says: The only way to have a friend is to be one. Some people believe that we choose our friends out of respect for their character. I doubt it. I think we do choose our friends because of similarity
