1 What is the first quality for true friendship and what does it
tell you?
The first quality is unselfishness It tells us that a person
who is concerned only with his own interests and feelings can’t
be a true friend
2 Why are changeable and uncertain people incapable of true
friendship?
Changeable and uncertain people are incapable of true
friendship because they take up an interest with enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it, and they feel the attraction of some new object.
3 What is the third quality for true friendship and what does
it tell you?
The third quality is loyalty It tells us that the two friends
must be loyal to each other and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions between them.
4 Why must there be a mutual trust between friends?
There must be a mutual trust between friends because if
not, people can not feel safe when telling the other their most intimate secrets.
5 Why can’t people who talk too much keep a friend long ?
Talkative people can’t keep a friend long because they can
not keep a secret, either of their own or of others’.
6 What is the last quality for true friendship and what does it tell you?
The last quality is sympathy It tell us to be a true friend
you must sympathize with your friend Where there’s no
mutual sympathy between friends, there’s no true friendship.
