"友情とはほとんど常に一つの心の一部が別の心の一部と結びつくことであり、人々は一部分で友達となる。"
— George Santayana
Simplified Meaning:
When two people are friends, it means they connect over certain shared interests or feelings. Not every part of their personalities has to match perfectly. Imagine you love playing soccer and find someone else who also loves soccer. You might become friends because of this common interest, even if your favorite foods or other hobbies are different. This teaches us that we can build strong friendships based on specific things we have in common, rather than needing to be alike in every way. So, if you're looking to make new friends, look for people who share your interests in certain areas, and don't worry if you don't agree on everything.
