It is said that
extremes meet. But is it really so? Some time ago I realized that this is not
true. Imagine a situation that you meet a person, make friends with him and
start learning him. He also learns you. It is like reading a new book. Every page

"A friend in need is a friend indeed!" Could you name all those people whom you can call "friend"? Then count them. As far as I can judge, there cannot be many friends. If a person says, "I have many friends," it means that he/she has kith, but not friends. The same thing is with the best friends.

Some years ago I heard one phrase: "Do not beware of your friends, the most terrible thing they can do is to betray you; do not beware of your enemies, the most terrible thing they can do is to kill you; but beware of apathetic people, even because of their silent consent there are treachery and assassination in our world." I can say, that this thought will exist in my mind all my life.
