You wouldn't understand. Or, see Friends.
"There is nothing to which nature seems so much to have inclined us as to society; Now, the most supreme point of its perfection is this: generally, all are so much the less beautiful and generous and so much the less friendships by how much they mix another cause, and design, and fruit in friendship than itself…Friendship, on the contrary, is enjoyed proportionably as it is desired and only grows up, is nourished and improved by enjoyment, as being of itself spiritual, and the soul growing still more refined by practice.For the rest, what we commonly call friends and friendships are nothing but acquaintance and familiarities, either occasionally contracted or upon some design, by means of which there happens some little intercourse betwixt our souls. But in the friendship I speak of, they mix and work themselves into one piece with so universal a mixture that there is no more sign of the seam by which they were first conjoined…Let no one, therefore, rank other common friendships with such a one as this. I have had as much experience of these as another, and of the most perfect of their kind: but I do not advise that any should confound the rules of the one and the other, for they would find themselves much deceived. In those other ordinary friendships, you are to walk with bridle in your hand, with prudence and circumspection, for in them the knot is not so sure that a man may not half suspect it will slip. Common friendships will admit of division; one may love the beauty of this person, the good-humour of that, the liberality of a third, the paternal affection of a fourth, the fraternal love of a fifth, and so of the rest: but this friendship that possesses the whole soul, and there rules and sways with an absolute sovereignty, cannot possibly admit of a rival." --Michel de Montaigne,"Of Friendship"
