Friendship is not essentially a union of personalities, it is an attraction and magnetism of souls. Friendships often begin in a soulful way through the workings of fate. We might "just happen" to meet a person and find even the slimmest basis for a relationship. Over the years, each of us encounters many, many people, and yet only a few become friends, and over a lifetime maybe only a very few become truly intimate friends -- soulmates.
The fact that it's impossible to explain just what makes someone a great friend, or that we can't go out and apply a formula for finding true friends, indicates how deep and unintentional friendship can be. It is as though souls recognize the hidden treasure in each other and forget the alliance, while the conscious mind goes on with its intentions, hopes, and expectations.
It may be wise, then, to cultivate friendship in an indirect manner. Friendship may not respond well to pressure. It may be more fruitful to notice signs of potential friendship, and allow them to incubate.
