Friendship is the call out of isolation and selfishness in order to teach me how to love and how to serve. But without stability, friendship – real soul-searing friendship, the kind that makes us choose between domination and infatuation and possessiveness and dependence for growth and freedom and depth and responsibility and self-knowledge – is impossible.Stability is what enables us, in other words, to live totally in God and totally for others.
