In his book, The Gay Science, #Nietzsche gives one of the most heartfelt and touching accounts of #friendship you can find. Because friendships are not like your spouse or your children, and you don't spend all of your time around your #friends. In our school days, we might spend a great deal of time around friends, but as we get older, we go our separate ways. We live our lives and we sail new seas. But this is what makes friendships unique, and it's what Nietzsche calls a ‘ #star friendship.’
