“In the modern information age, we tend to have many connections but few true friends. Therefore, cultivate your true friendships with generosity. Give as much time as you can to those relationships in which you are able to experience the feeling of merging. Practise the profound art of haragei – the dialogue between friends that unfolds as much through silence as words. A true friend is a precious find. Spending time with a friend is like finding a beautiful old seat in a secret glade deep in the forest. What could be more important than taking the time to rest and enjoy such a special place? ”
