Summary

This quote highlights the unique quality of old friendships, which allows us to let our guards down and be unapologetically ourselves. With old friends, we feel a sense of comfort and security that enables us to be silly, make mistakes, and behave in ways that may seem foolish. The enduring nature of these relationships allows for a deeper level of understanding and acceptance, where we can let go of the need to impress and simply enjoy each other's company, fostering a genuine connection.

Then we are assured by Sartre that owing to the final disappearance of God our liberty is absolute! At this the entire audience waves its hat or claps its hands. But this natural enthusiasm is turned abruptly into something much less buoyant when it is learnt that this liberty weighs us down immediately with tremendous responsibilities.
