No, the great act of friendship is believing in another person. Believing in who they are, who they can become, and the importance of the impact they could have on the world if they become their best and most authentic self.
The greatest act of friendship is recognizing the excellence within another person, encouraging them to honor it and bring it to the world, and ensuring that they do.
Loyalty is necessary. Love is nice. But believing in somebody and showing it is the ultimate act of friendship.
The time is now. Do the work.
