To me, I am an ‘I’. To you, I am a ‘You’. This is deep enough distinction between each other. I need to be me, you need to be you. When we are friends to each other, I help you to be you, and you help me to be me. With the help of God and each other, we shall become ourselves. Friends help each other to fulfill the duty to be more ourselves, and not less. In the world to come, I shall not be asked, ‘why were you not someone else?’ I shall be asked, ‘why were you not G.G?’ We become more ourselves by realizing the ‘selves’ God originally intended for us. And it always begins with trust that God’s is best.

Friends also help each other to be more like each other. Not in the manner of fashioning self to the other self, but to find and imitate the Creator who is in and above each other.
