For those who love each other, the existence of the other brings great pleasure. That is why they like to be together; to experience the same things in a partnership. Whatever one enjoys, the other wants to share in it since one person is an extension of the other. Good friends will also have this to a degree and will want to experience things together such as humor, music, art or sports. They enjoy the other person just being there and enjoying the experience. Whatever they enjoy as an activity will have a product. Good music, philosophy or hunting will be supported by the participants. When wicked people get together, it produces bad things since they are unstable. They may even get in worse trouble. When good people get together, they encourage each other to do better. And that is what good friendships do; they improve each other.
The next subject is pleasure. We are raised with the understanding that there are things we should and should not enjoy. One school of thought is that if it feels good, do it and the other is that we should deny ourselves and our feelings. Which is correct? We see all the time that those who teach denial end up being hypocrites and go after pleasure anyways; even if it is hidden. Those who do what they feel all the time end up on meds or in some sort of vice. Theories abound but the facts always clash with them. This looks like an interesting subject so lets see how it pans out..
