Friends vs. Enablers

  • Disagreement is the engine of friendship, it’s how different view points are folded together and integrated that matters and makes life richer
  • A lot of friendships have co-existing realities where ‘everyone minds their own business’ – this dynamic makes no sense to me
  • Friendship is about careful considerate interventions both to pump the brakes and to put a bit more on the accelerator
  • Strangers have no incentive to check your ego and friends have the greatest incentive because an out of control ego will negatively affect their lives
