This reflection explores the essence of true friendship as a decision of the will, not fleeting emotions. Father explains Aristotle’s view of virtuous friendship and draws parallels to marriage, highlighting the need for commitment, freedom, and loyalty. Friendship, like love, transcends transient feelings, calling for fidelity and selflessness to nurture enduring bonds.
