One night I was talking to a friend of mine on the telephone. As we
spoke, she said something that hurt me rather badly, and when I told her
about
it she became indignant. "I thought if we were friends we can say anything
we
want to each other!" That's close, but not exactly true...you should be
able
to TALK ABOUT anything you wish. There is a difference. Just because you
are
friends doesn't mean you no longer have to concern yourself with the other
person's feelings...in fact, you should be one of the fiercest protectors of
your friend's feelings. People who give no thought to a friend's feelings
are just cleverly-disguised enemies.
