Do we want to   26  ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are   27  enough—and that's right. But at some point we need to   28  that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of   29  experience including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must be undertaken   30  and carried on only if there are   31  of interest and action in return.
    What are some of the   32  of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships   33  time. Another 'major difficulty' is the selfishness to think one 'possesses' the other, including his time and attention. So, friendships   34  actions in return, in other words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend   35  time together, talking on the phone, writing letters doing things together, friend-ships will die away.
