<p>Two Minute Solution To Relieve Back Pain<br /> Sad, indeed, is Bacon'=
s assertion that " there is little friendship in the world, and least=
of all between equals, which was wont to be magnified. That that is, is be=
tween superior and inferior, whose fortunes may comprehend the one to the o=
ther." But this can hardly be taken as his deliberate opinion, for he =
elsewhere says, " but we may go farther, and affirm most truly, that i=
t is a mere and miserable solitude to want true friends, without which the =
world is but a wilderness." Not only, he adds, does friendship introdu=
ce " daylight in the understanding out of darkness and confusion of th=
oughts; " it " maketh a fair day in the affections from storm and=
tempests:" in consultation with a friend a man " tosseth his tho=
ughts more easily; he marshalleth them more orderly; he seeth how they look=
when they are turned into words; finally, he waxeth wiser than himself, an=
d that more by an hour' s discourse than by a day' s meditation." ... =
" But little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendet=
h, for a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and=
talk but a tinkling cymbal where there is no love." With this last as=
sertion I cannot altogether concur. Surely even strangers may be most inter=
esting! and many will agree with Dr. Johnson when, describing a pleasant ev=
ening, he summed it up--" Sir, we had a good talk." Epictetus giv=
es excellent advice when he dissuades from conversation on the very subject=
s most commonly chosen, and advises that it should be on " none of the=
common subjects--not about gladiators, nor horse-races, nor about athletes=
, nor about eating or drinking, which are the usual subjects; and especiall=
y not about men, as blaming them; " but when he adds, " or praisi=
ng them," the injunction seems to me of doubtful value. Surely Marcus =
Aurelius more wisely advises that " when thou wishest to delight thyse=
lf, think of the virtues of those who live with thee; for instance, the act=
ivity of one, and the modesty of another, and the liberality of a third, an=
d some other good quality of a fourth. For nothing delights so much as the =
examples of the virtues, when they are exhibited in the morals of those who=
live with us and present themselves in abundance, as far as is possible. W=
herefore we must keep them before us." Yet how often we know merely th=
e sight of those we call our friends, or the sound of their voices, but not=
hing whatever of their mind or soul. We must, moreover, be as careful to ke=
ep friends as to make them. If every one knew what one said of the other, P=
ascal assures us that " there would not be four friends in the world.&=
quot; This I hope and think is too strong, but at any rate try to be one of=
the four. And when you have made a friend, keep him. Hast thou a friend, s=
ays an Eastern proverb, " visit him often, for thorns and brushwood ob=
struct the road which no one treads." The affections should not be mer=
e " tents of a night." Still less does Friendship confer any priv=
ilege to make ourselves disagreeable. Some people never seem to appreciate =
their friends till they have lost them. Anaxagoras described the Mausoleum =
as the ghost of wealth turned into stone. " But he who has once stood =
beside the grave to look back on the companionship which has been for ever =
closed, feeling how impotent _then_ are the wild love and the keen sorrow, =
to give one instant' s pleasure to the pulseless heart, or atone in the low=
est measure to the departed spirit for the hour of unkindness, will scarcel=
y for the future incur that debt to the heart which can only be discharged =
to the dust." Death, indeed, cannot sever friendship. " Frien=
ds," says Cicero, " though absent, are still present; though in p=
overty they are rich; though weak, yet in the enjoyment of health; and, wha=
t is still more difficult to assert, though dead they are alive." This=
seems a paradox, yet it there not much truth in his explanation? " To=
me, indeed, Scipio still lives, and will always live; for I love the virtu=
e of that man, and that worth is not yet extinguished.... Assuredly of all =
things that either fortune or time has bestowed on me, I have none which I =
can compare with the friendship of Scipio." If, then, we choose our fr=
iends for what they are, not for what they have, and if we deserve so great=
a blessing, then they will be always with us, preserved in absence, and ev=
en after death, in the " amber of memory." </p>=20
