The Promised Definition of Friendship 27 March 2005 quoted from {HRI 20050327-V3.2.1}

You probably know the feeling of friendship quite well. You feel the truth about someone, and friendship follows: You discover, what you can and want to give to someone, and you try to give that, and you expect from another that he or she feels the truth about you, and (that he or she) also acts upon that. So we can define it: Friendship is feeling the truth about someone and discovering as a result, what you can and want to give to someone (and to many, as you can have many friendships) and to try to give that – and also expecting from another (and from many) to feel the truth about you, and that he or she also acts upon that.
