Oh, story of my life. Nearly 2 years ago I refused to sign a letter asking US Congress to start impeachment proceedings against Trump. The letter was an initiative of some random left leaning person. Now, I don’t live in the US neither do I have any interests be it personal or professional invested in that country. I saw no reason to sign the letter and was quickly unfriended by my friend who forwarded the letter to me. We had been friends for 16 years. He said he doesn’t want to be friends with a fascist. I continue to be amused by this till date. I always knew that my friend was a hardcore leftist, and I stay miles away from that ideology. But that didn’t make me want to hate him or call off the friendship. It was immaterial to me. But clearly not to the ‘woke’ him. I wonder why people like him think they are the only ones to know what’s right for the world. And this mindset is what pushes me and others like me further away from the left
Why are you citing Aristotle for types of friendship? Look at the best example
उत्सवे व्यसने चैव दुरभिचछे शत्रुसंकटे राजदवारे श्मशाने यः तिषठति सः बानधवः ।
