2. Because they take up and interest with enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it and they feel the attraction of some new object.
3. The third quality for true friendship is loyalty. It tells us that the two friends must be loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions between them.
4. Because if not people can’t feel safe when telling the other their secret.
5. Because they cannot keep a secret, either of their own or of others’.

The friendship is very important to our life. A true friend can helps us when we are sorrow and when we have difficulty. We can share ideas, feeling, likes, joys, pleasures, aims  to each other.
