If You Have a Friend

"I wonder if you have a friend with whom you talk, with whom
you expose your own feelings, your own concepts, your ideas and
disillusionment and so on. If you have such a friend, and I hope
you have, if you have such a friend with whom you are discussing,
you are talking over together, neither one nor the other is trying to
persuade the other, persuade, guide, or shape his particular thought.
So if you are willing, we are going to talk over together in that
manner, exploring, enquiring, never accepting what another says,
never expressing one's own strong opinions, but rather without any
bias, in great friendship, which means with great affection
respecting each other, without any arriere pensee, that is, having
some kind of hidden thought, hidden motive."
