In my humble belief we don't need good people to be friends with, we need our own kind of people. Both Churchill and Gandhi were good people in their own ways but I don't believe they could ever be friends. So if I want good friendships I'd take a good look at myself first, find out the kind of person I am, find out the kind of person I want as a friend, and look for it accordingly. Am I looking for someone with a good sense of humour? Am I looking for blind loyalty? Am I looking for stark honesty? What do I want in a friend?
