Hi Aaron,

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I wholeheartedly agree with you, and in fact the greatest philosophers including Aristotle, saw friendship as the ‘highest’ social value.

Michael Boltman sung: How can we be lovers if we can’t be friends.

In my opinion, those in a sexual relationship devoid of friendship, are ‘traders’. I agree with you that friendship epitomizes the notion of unconditional love.
