There is the love of a friend for his friend, the only reason for which is the admiration that one has for the other; but when there is real friendship between two people it gives them the experience of divine perfection, as in the Persian saying, "When two hearts become one they can remove mountains." To feel that there is someone in whom we can place our confidence, that there is someone who understands us, whom we can trust, upon whom we can lean and rely, to whom we can open our heart, to know that someone will sorrow in our pain more than he will sorrow for his own troubles, to know that there is someone in the world who will share all that is good and beautiful with us, imagine what a feeling it is! If we put this friend on one side of the scale and on the other side the whole world, the side where that friend is will weigh more than the other.
