Car si nous voyons autour de nous, tout le monde a un ou des amis. Cela semble tr&egrave;s naturel.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tEt pourtant, n&#39;arrive t-il pas parfois de se trouver seul, sans quelqu&#39;un avec qui parler de ses soucis, ses probl&egrave;mes, ses malheurs quand cela arrive parfois souvent?<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tIl m&#39;est arriv&eacute; de vivre une telle situation et c&#39;est pourquoi j&#39;ai essay&eacute; de d&eacute;couvrir combien l&#39;amiti&eacute; peut apporter &agrave; tout un chacun une paix parfois oubli&eacute;e, un certain soulagement, mais surtout la sensation de ne pas se sentir seul. Et c&#39;est pourquoi de nos jours, seuls l&#39;amour et l&#39;amiti&eacute; peuvent gratifier notre solitude.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tEn lisant les philosophes, j&#39;ai d&eacute;couvert qu&#39;eux m&ecirc;mes &nbsp;n&#39;ont pas craint de l&#39;inscrire parmi les Grands Biens.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tElle est sacr&eacute;e et ne peut &ecirc;tre impos&eacute;e. L&rsquo;amiti&eacute; a aussi ses douceurs et ses habitudes. Elle doit &ecirc;tre pr&eacute;f&eacute;r&eacute;e &agrave; tout dans ce monde. Elle n&rsquo;est pas moins n&eacute;cessaire que l&rsquo;air, le feu ou l&rsquo;eau. Son charme est tel que l&#39;&ocirc;ter du milieu des hommes, serait leur ravir le soleil.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tQue de belles paroles n&#39;est-ce pas&#39;?<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tJ&#39;ai aussi appris que&nbsp;L&rsquo;amiti&eacute; r&eacute;siste au temps et triomphe de la mort.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tLorsque je pense a Voltaire, je me souviens qu&#39;il a dit que&nbsp;L&rsquo;amiti&eacute; est le baume de la vie. On aurait du en faire un pr&eacute;cepte &nbsp;religieux.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tA entendre de si belles chose de l&#39;amiti&eacute;, de l&#39;ami ou de l&#39;amie,on peut se demander pourquoi donc avons nous besoin d&#39;ennemis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tD&#39;autant plus que les&nbsp;&nbsp;amis vont et viennent alors que les ennemis s&#39;accumulent. Je crois que ce mot vient de Coluche.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tCela me rappelle quelques proverbes chinois, l&#39;un disant:&nbsp;Un ami c&rsquo;est une route, un ennemi c&rsquo;est un mur. Et l&#39;autre:&nbsp;Un fr&egrave;re est un ami qui nous a &eacute;t&eacute; donn&eacute; par la nature.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tD&#39;ailleurs, n&#39;est-il pas vrai que l&#39;association de ces deux mots est monnaie courante.?<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tCertains amis s&#39;aiment autant que s&#39;ils &eacute;taient fr&egrave;res, Tant&nbsp;et si bien qu&#39;on &nbsp;dit qu&#39;un vrai ami est celui qui tient ta main et touche ton c&oelig;ur.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tJe ne peux terminer cet &eacute;loge a l&#39;amiti&eacute; sans r&eacute;veiller mon bon ami Epicure &nbsp;pour qui l&#39;amiti&eacute; &eacute;tait au haut de sa liste des plaisirs de la vie.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tIl a &eacute;crit: De toutes les choses que la sagesse vous procure pour vous aider &agrave; vivre toute une vie de bonheur, la plus grande et de loin, c&#39;est la possession de l&#39;amiti&eacute;.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tEpicure &nbsp;croyait que choisir avec qui prendre un repas est beaucoup plus significatif que de choisir ce que le menu devrait &ecirc;tre. En d&#39;autres mots, avant de manger ou de boire quoi que ce soit, consid&eacute;rez minutieusement avec qui vous mangez ou buvez plut&ocirc;t que ce que vous mangez ou buvez, car manger sans un ami est la vie du lion ou du loup.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tTout comme Epicure, Montaigne &eacute;tait convaincu que l&#39;amiti&eacute; et la bonne conversation qui vient avec, &eacute;tait le plus grand plaisir qu&#39;il nous soit donn&eacute;. Dans son essai &acute;De la vanit&eacute;&#39;, le philosophe Fran&ccedil;ais a &eacute;crit:<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&acute;&acute;Je sais que les bras de l&#39;amiti&eacute; sont assez longs pour atteindre d&#39;un c&ocirc;t&eacute; du monde jusqu&#39;&agrave; l&#39;autre&#39;&#39;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tEt c&#39;est pourquoi, &agrave; mesure qu&#39;on prend de l&#39;&acirc;ge, on pense a cet avertissement de Letty Cottin &nbsp;:&#39;Nous avons besoin de vieux amis pour nous aider &agrave; vieillir et de nouveaux amis pour nous garder jeunes&#39;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tEt pour finir, j&#39;utiliserai un mot de Pythagore qui m&#39;est tr&egrave;s cher: L&rsquo;ami est un autre soi-m&ecirc;me. Il faut l&rsquo;honorer comme un Dieu.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJACQUES HADIDA<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\tFEV 2015<\/p>\n<blockquote type=\"cite\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ENGLISH. &nbsp; VERSION<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tI do not know why, but i can only imagine that we would be unhappy if we had no friends. For, if we look around us, it seems that everyone has one or many friends. It seems pretty natural.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tAnd yet, does it not happen that at times we feel lonely, without anyone to tak to about our worries, our problems, our mishaps when that sometimes happens?<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tThis situation happened to me and that is why I tried to discover how much friendship can bring each one of us a peace at times forgotten, a feeling of relief but mostly the sensation of not being alone. And this leads me to believe that only&nbsp;love and friendship gratify solitude nowadays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tIt is in reading the philosophers, that I discovered that they, themselves did not hesitate to include it amongst the Great Goods<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tIt is sacred and cannot be imposed.&nbsp;Friendship has also its&nbsp;sweets and its habits. It should be preferred to everything in&nbsp;this world. It is not less necessary than &nbsp;air, fire or water. Its&nbsp;charm is such that removing it from within mankind will be to&nbsp;take away their sun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat beautiful words, right?<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tI also learnt that friendship resists time and triumphs death.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhen I think of Voltaire, it reminds me that he said:&nbsp;Friendship is the balm of life. It should have been made a&nbsp;religious precept.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tHearing so many beautiful things about friendship, about a friend, one can ask why do we need any enemy? Considering that friends come and go while enemies keep accumulating. I think this word is from Coluche.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhich reminds me of some Chinese proverbs, one saying: &#39;a friend is a road,, an enemy is a wall&#39;. While another :&#39;A brother is a friend given to us by nature.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn fact, is it not true that the association of these two words is a matter of fact? Some friends love each other so much just like if they were brothers. So much so that we say that a true friend is the one who holds your hand and touches your heart.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tI cannot&nbsp;end this praise&nbsp;to friendship without bringing my good friend Epicurus for whom&nbsp;Companionship was at the top of his list of life&#39;s pleasures. He wrote: &#39;&#39; Of all the things that wisdom provides to help one live one&#39;s entire life in happiness, the greatest by far is the possession of friendship.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tEpicurus &nbsp;believed that choosing with whom one eats dinner is far more significant than choosing what the menu should be. In other words, before you eat or drink anything, carefully consider with whom you eat or drink than what you eat or drink, because eating without a friend is the life of the lion or wolf.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tLike Epicurus, Montaigne was convinced that friendship, and the good conversation that comes with it, was the greatest pleasure available to us. On his essay &#39;Of Vanity&#39; the French philosopher wrote: &#39;&#39; I know that the arms of friendship are long enough to reach from one end of the world to the other&#39;&#39;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd this Is why as &nbsp;we&nbsp;get older, we think of this warning by Letty Cottin:&nbsp;We need old friends to helps us grow old and&nbsp;new friends to helps us stay young.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd to finish, I will use a word of Pythagoras, very dear to me:<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe friend is another oneself.
