Friendship, friends in need, friends in shit

"Friendship contains an element of direct mutual exchange and to this extent is akin to private economic good. But it is often much more than that. Over time, the friendship 'transaction' can be presumed, by its permanence, to be a net benefit on both sides. At any moment of time, though, the exchange is very unlikely to be reciprocally balanced."


-Fred Hirsch on Stephen D. Krasner International Regimes (1983, 1)



Whatsoever, this is my friendship, and I really hope we can still be in the same ship when we're get older.
