"in my model, a friendship is a *unique* thing. (there's no "kind of friendship" like "kind of animal")
And, like all unique things, it can't be defined in terms of its *difference* from other things.
It's like trying to define "triangle" by saying it's not a square.

For me, it's like a friendship *is* a point in the relationship, and I'm trying to define it as the entire line.

But it's *not* a line - it's a point, and a unique one.

And I can "visualize" a friendship as a point. I can look at it in terms of its attributes.
But if I try to visualize the *relationship*, the actual *line*,
I get *zero*."

I am fascinated by how long-term love actually does change people's values
Like,

in a way that *makes sense* to the other person, as part of their values"
