Thank you Diana. Long-term friendships and relationships do develop over time, but only with both parties actively involved with the development. I do think a lot of people have forgotten what it means to be a true friend.

Thank you Simon for your comments and you are right, dynamics change and positive influences can come from places you would not have imagined.

I’ve found that as I’ve grown older,true friendships are far and few between and develop slowly and with caution, somewhat a protection of self perhaps. It is odd however, that my closest friendships today are with people I have never seen face-to-face but who embody all the criteria you mention above. It’s again only a handful of people but well-chosen. A very nice piece John.

A very interesting piece on friendship. It is also interesting how the dynamics of friendship has changed due to the Internet and sites suchas twitter. I am contually amazed at how one can have a possitive influence on (and be influenced by) someone who I would call a friend but may never meet in person.
