I just finished watching the DVD My Best Friend with my two sons. It's a throughly delightful movie!
There's a quote in the movie from the book, The Little Prince used in reference to the subject of friendship. The quote was:
"if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you'll be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world …"
The movie made me think about this quote.
I think in order to be someone's friend we all need to be tamed; to be taught how to act right and be their friend. I think in order to have friends we have to be willing to take the time to tame people; to put up with their annoyances and teach them what we want and need.
To be patient; with both them and ourselves.
What do you think "taming" means?
