Aristotle had it right when he said that a friend to all is a friend to none. It’s something I’ve struggled with all of my life. I over-commit to the number of people I have time for and then I end up keeping up with nobody and a few years later you start wondering where all of your friends went and how you all grew apart.
One loyal friend or two is far more valuable than trying to befriend the world. The only way to have a loyal friend is to be a loyal friend.
