Friendship can hurt. Very badly. Be concerned about how your friends feel, about their desires, their emotions. Because if you ever lose a friend, it will hurt. You may find him/her again one day, but in a long, long time. In months, years, or even decades.

Few people reconcile with a close friend.

So pay close attention to your friendships. Because the slightest mistake can be fatal.
