"Friendship is the most precious thing. True! but we do not always look for true friends, rather for allies, so that we may be approved and supported in our bad habits. Do you know many people who want their friends to be absolutely sincere with them and not necessarily approve everything they say or do? The least criticism makes them feel betrayed and angry. We all know that winning favor with someone requires approvals, compliments and flatteries. That is why some refuse to hear the truth, others see no interest in saying it, and so there are a lot of people spending their time deceiving others and making mistakes. The one who really wants to evolve does not deceive others and accepts, above all, observations and criticism."
