Friendship is the parallax of two people’s existence in one shared reality.

Friendship is difference of perspective reconciled in depth.

*

Friendships are tested and actualized by fighting.

The first test is whether one fights. A second test is how one fights.

*

Friendships can end in irreconcilable difference; but conciliatory indifference can cause a friendship to never begin.

Irreconcilable difference can kill a friendship, but conciliatory indifference keeps it dead.

*

Like every reality, friendship exists in the “double-bind of resistant availability.”
