I read this the Friendship chapters of Aristotle in my twenties—when you has more friends than you know what to do with—and I remember thinking, we can be useful, pleasant, or good for each other. If we’re not one of those three, we’re not really friends—we’re just people who waste time together. It clarified a lot of relationships for me.
