00:00Having good friends is a luxury. Not everyone can have it.

00:03Like all luxuries in the world, this one can be had only by those who pay the price for it.

00:10Luxurious goods are expensive, are they not?

00:12So good friends are one of the greatest luxuries possible in life.

00:17You have to pay a great price, but we don't pay any price.

00:20So all we get is accidental friends, no?

00:22You check into your hostel and your roommate, he becomes your friend.

00:26Now that kind of friendship is hardly any good.

00:28The probability of that being a fruitful friendship or an elevating relationship is 1 in 100.

00:35You have to be tremendously lucky to find a great friend just by chance.

00:39That cannot happen that way.

00:40Remaining where you are and remaining as you are,

00:43you'll only find friends who are just the way you are.

00:46If you want to find people who really deserve to be called friends,
