Sign up to find more cool stuff to followthere are three kinds of friends in this world
- the ones who’d take you out if you ever turned into a supervillain
- the ones who’d fight to get you safely into custody and try to talk you around
- the ones who’d be up there in a ridiculous costume beside you, helping you load your nuclear powered hamster cannon
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
