Friendship
is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. It
is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association. Although
there are many forms of friendship, some of which may vary from place
to place, certain characteristics are present in many types of
friendship. Such characteristics include affection, sympathy, empathy,
honesty, altruism, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of
each other's company, trust, and the ability to be oneself, express
one's feelings, and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the
friend. While there is no practical limit on what types of people can
form a friendship, friends tend to share common backgrounds,
occupations, or interests, and have similar demographics.
Friendship, as understood here, is a distinctively personal
relationship that is grounded in a concern on the part of each friend
for the welfare of the other, for the other's sake, and that involves
some degree of intimacy. As such, friendship is undoubtedly central to
our lives, in part because the special concern we have for our friends
must have a place within a broader set of concerns, including moral
concerns, and in part because our friends can help shape who we are as
persons.
