The mark of an immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one. - Wilhelm Stekel

Basic Friend, What are the Fundamental Trusts?
What does a friend expect of himself? And you? Between two people, expressed and implied 'contracts' structure cooperative, supportive relationships where goods, services and intangibles, ( like emotional currency), are exchanged. As the catch-phrase 'friendship' denotes, when one is the 'friend' of another, the relationship provides a 'vehicle', a 'ship'.

As with all other conveyances, this 'vehicle' is the means by which individuals choose to move towards their goals, a ship. So, what is expected of another in a 'friendship', depends on where and how individual's goals converge, and how consensus is reached defining the nature of the cooperative effort that is appropriate, acceptable or desired.

Affection, commonalities and demonstrated self-control are just a few attributes which facilitate developing cooperative relationships, but in the absence of official institutions, (like law enforcement), to regulate our interactions, friendships depend largely upon the individuals ability to maintain 'Trusts'.

The 'Trusts' are the expressed and implied rules which govern and generally define what friendly behavior is and are relied upon to predict the actions of friends whether in or out of one another's presence.

As a scientist uses 'Scientific Method' to logically move from an unconfirmed 'theory', towards its establishment as a valid proven 'Fact', friendships progress along the same lines of logic to be found in what could be termed: 'Fundamental Trusts of Friendship'. Often general in content, 'Fundamental Trusts', (when validated by an individuals actions), justify progressive reclassification from a mere 'Associate', to the highest expression of the individuals role in this relationship, a 'True Friend'.

'Trusts' are expectations which can be: temporary in nature, at times circumstantial or amended when situations require flexibility. 'Fundamental Trusts', by contrast, are characterized by their inflexible nature. As a general rule, exchanges of high personal value will (more likely) occur between individuals and those considered their 'True Friends'.

During the initial stages of emerging friendships, consistency fulfilling 'Fundamental Trusts' directly influences major conclusions especially Trusts related to security and risk assessments. A 'Fundamental Trust' involving risk may read as follows: 'Do no intentional or unintentional harm.'

Self Preservation being the first and premiere Law of Nature, any breach of the above 'Trust' whether directed at the self or others, indicates a value system irreconcilable with the logic guiding 'Fundamental Trusts of Friendship' consistently towards the discovery of 'True Friends'.

With different logical orientations one produces logically different directions, which will arrive at different logical ends.

While 'Trusts' are as various as fingerprints and 'tailor-suit' friendships, the 'Fundamental Trusts' are the foundation of every 'True Friendship', wherein will be found the supreme attributes of 'Enduring Peace' and 'Altruism'.

Among the 'Fundamental Trusts' are the following:
'None Possess the Freedoms'
'Never Hide the Manifest'

Is anything key to Friendship and missing here?

Consider the 3 Fundamental Trusts listed, thoughts?

How might other "Fundamental Trusts" appear?

If you have True Friends, how long did it take to get them?

When making exceptions for any rule don't we obscure the blueprint or formula that rule was part of?
