Our attempts at friendship tend to go adrift because we collectively resist the task of developing a clear picture of what friendship might really be for. The problem is that we're unfairly uncomfortable with the idea of friendship having any declared purpose, because we associate purpose with the least attractive and most cynical of motives.
我們在友情下的功夫常常付諸流水,因為我們都討厭拓展具有意義的友誼關係。問題在於我們對友誼缺乏安全感;常常聚焦在交朋友的淺規則上,我們把這種淺規則定義成一種乏味又厭世的動機。
