"Through activity man attains purity of consciousness. Why strive for a pure consciousness? If a well has muddy water, then its bottom can not be seen. Similarly, within man's heart, deep down in his consciousness, we have the Atman. But it can be cognized only when the consciousness is clarified. Your imagination, your inferences, your judgements and prejudices, your passions and emotions plus egoistic desires muddy the consciousness and make it opaque."

In phiosophy, friendship is has been defined explicitly but love is still an unsolved query. G.B. Shaw said,"Equals make the best friends". the word ' equal' can be taken in many ways like intellectual, cordial, emotional, social, etc; on the contrary, Love has not even a single specification. You can make friends with yourself, but if you fall in love with yoursels, you will turn psychogenic, narcissist, maglomaniac. Its my highly subjective view.

Love is the extension of friendship. There is no limitation with love, but with friendship, there are certain things you wont cross the line.

but my friendship with men is just that we are friends. we like the same sports we like to go hunting and fishing and tell tall stories. we talk about our wife's and what book we are reading at this time. my Friends understand me and like me because i am me and when i am a A/Hole that is cool too because when they are i am cool with them. we tell jokes not so nice ones at times. I do have a few women that are my Friends they are one i talk i think of them as sisters as my men Friends are my brothers. i do almost anything for them. and i love them dearly but in a sister brotherly way. and then there is friends. they are people that i talk to like the guy next door that want to use my weed wacker. i don't have a friendship with him i don't love him but we are friends and i would go out of my way to help him.

Friendship is having sex. Love is making love. Friendship is wearing a condom. Love is no-holds barred

Love can be can be one side ie a mother or father loves their children.
Friendship is mutual between two or more.
Friendship should be reciprocal.
Friendship and love are different and not the same.

friendship is a type of love; it generally lacks romantic or sexual elements.
