Summary

This quote highlights the idea that friendship, much like a bank account, requires a give-and-take dynamic in order to thrive. Just as we can withdraw money only when we have enough funds in our account, we can rely on our friends' support, assistance, and companionship only when we contribute to the friendship in return. Making deposits in the form of kindness, empathy, trust, and time strengthens our relationships and fosters the mutual trust necessary for friendships to endure. Without regular contributions, friendships can become unbalanced, strained, or fizzle out over time.

Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever. 2 Commerce between master and slave is despotism. 3 Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. 4 Establish the law for educating the common people. 5 This it is the business of the State to effect and on a general plan. 6
