“I Don’t Need A Friend Who Changes When I Change And Who Nods When I Nod; My Shadow Does That Much Better.”

Please do not be my friend if all you do is agree with me at a moment’s notice.

Disagree with me when I am wrong, for I cannot recognize it myself. Stand your ground when I am taking too much, for I have moments of greed. Be wise when I am acting foolish, for I am being foolish after all.

That is what I need of a friend. One who can set my head straight when it needs straightening. And hopefully I can do the same for that friend in time.

Falsely yours,
Plutarch
