Closeness

We have found that the friends that last the longest and the the ones we need even when all our needs have been met are the ones that we want to celebrate life with. Everyone has friends that bring pleasure and those that are useful. These aren't inferior relationships, they simply have a different function. Conflicts arise when people make false assumptions or misrepresentations. It is always best to make expectations clear and to be honest with our friends. If you need someone's help, a person shouldn't try to hide behind closeness to manipulate things. In a utility relationship where help is needed, there is an expectation of a fair exchange. But those who are celebrating life together will help each other out without expecting anything back. The relationship is enough but they will still try to be just.
We can have an unlimited amount of friends that are useful. This goes all the way up to national relationships. Those who entertain us and give us pleasure are also a dime a dozen. But to have someone that celebrates our life with us is a rarity. This person is someone that values your existence, wishes you well, and wants badly to interact with you. A person can have very few relationships like this and normally choose to experience the ultimate love with one person. This supersedes physical objectives and activities.
In every relationship, there can be a mixture of each kind, but the dominating factor should be the most important consideration and should be made clear.
