What is Friendship?

We are identified with the roles we play. These roles have their own connotations (dos and don'ts, expectations, unwritten rules) and we and others end up feeling restricted in relationships.
If we need a role to play, we should choose to be a friend. This role supersedes all relationships and can be performed within all relationships! A friend can be a mother as well or a father or a spouse!
A friend does not have expectations!
