Cicero on friends
A very close friend of mine found this.

During the time of the Roman Empire, Cicero had his own beliefs on friendship.

Cicero believed that in order to have a true friendship with someone there must be all honesty and truth. If there isn’t, then this isn’t a true friendship. In that case, friends must be one hundred percent honest with each other and put one hundred percent of their trust in the other person.

Cicero also believed that for people to be friends with another person, they must do things without the expectation that their friend will have to repay them.

He also believes that if a friend is about to do something wrong, and something that goes against your morals, you shouldn’t compromise your morals. You must explain why what they are going to do is wrong, and help them to see what the right thing to do is, because Cicero believes that ignorance is the cause of evil.

Finally the last thing that Cicero believed was that the reason that a friendship comes to an end is because one person in that friendship has become bad."

When he said "bad" he meant that friend did not follow his friendship guidelines? Hmm....I learned something today.

Of course I know what you have to do to be friends. It says it all in the Bible. Even people who don't read the Bible have gut feelings about the wrong and right things to do in a friendship. They just make "bad" choices.

I just thought it was interesting and for the most part very insightful.
