Summary

This quote suggests that forming friendships with individuals either of higher or lower social status is futile and will not bring happiness. It implies that friendships should be based on equality, rather than perceived levels of societal importance. Establishing connections solely for the purpose of upward social mobility or a sense of superiority will ultimately lead to disappointment and a lack of genuine contentment. Instead, true happiness in friendships comes from equal treatment, shared interests, and mutual respect, without the influence of social hierarchy.

Just touching that old tree was truly moving to me because when you touch these trees, you have such a sense of the passage of time, of history. It's like you're touching the essence, the very substance of life.
