We do not know at what point in our association with another did we become friends. Somewhere along the line, during our association with another individual, we must have found that we are comfortable with that individual – that we have common interests and that the person is likeable, and trustworthy and worthy of our friendship.
We do not wake up one morning, and decide that we are going to be friends with so and so. Friendship takes time to build up. It is an ongoing process. It takes time, patience, understanding and acceptance of the individual. When you have a friend, treasure the friendship.
