What makes a friend? Not just someone to hang out with, but someone to confide in. No one confides in someone who cannot keep confidences. Nor do you like anyone who will always think they have answers. The best aspect of a real friend is the ability to emphasize, and listen.
If we want that spiritual relationship with the "Other" we need to develop the same traits. We need to spend time listening and learn to emphasize.
Strange, huh? We should do to God what we want friends to do for us. But it does work.
