​What is Friendship?

Day 391 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises

---

FRIENDSHIP
 
We don’t try to
sell stuff to our friends.
We help them,
without asking for money.
 
We don’t try to
make money from our friends.
We share what we have,
for free.
 
Friendship is a mindset,
with activities  that  offer
and share all that we have,
 for the benefit of others.
 
Friendship is that joyful space
of playing together and
growing with others,
where money is not the driver.
 
For friendship is a gift where,
we quietly receive more
than we could ever imagine,
for free.
