TRUE FRIENDSHIP
In the twentieth century, there has been that one person in every deed which made it admired by all. Then began a distrust, skepticism that under this shell is wrapped himself in a cloak for companionship.
Man tried to remove that harm will be done to upon it for protection and that it hide his faults. This is the cause of so much unhappiness. Each tries to achieve his own goal. It is a strenuous race so close that they must trample one another to succeed. If the leader falls, the follower takes his place. Such is life in the rat race.
If one business collapses, others fail too. It causes us to find in others our own being, real friendship. It cannot be bought; it cannot be found unless each of us looks for it in himself.
When it is found, it is sure to be recognized, along with political graft or the grand drive for fascism?
