22、 the 50 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 51 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 52 actions in return. In 53 words, you must give a
