His warrior nature makes him fearless‚ dangerous and brutal‚ leaving him with no ability to be patient‚ humble and considerate

Friendship Friendship is a type of relationship between two people who care about each other. But such a dry definition doesn’t do the concept of friendship justice.

In other words‚ friendship is wonderful‚ and much ink has been spilled in citing the virtues of having friends. That’s not to say friendship is easy‚ though. It demands time and effort‚ and it requires
