I must leave you, my friend.
Do you consider me a Friend just like I do? You were puzzled when I told you not to be afraid to have enemies. But this is the point: your worse enemy is your best friend. It is because you want the elevation of your friend that you make him an enemy. Your friend will become that ideal you are looking for. As the philosopher said « To have a friend you must be capable of war for him, and for wars you must have enemies ». Although I consider you a friend I want you to look at me as an enemy. I must be an enemy to supersede.
I am leaving you for a war, my friend.
Do not be of those men who think of wars as an outside thing with an outside opponent. Ohh my friend, your only way is with yourself. Your only enemy is yourself just as you ar your bestfriend. Because you want to be friend with yourself, you must lunch a war against yourself, you must suffer, and surrender from your own defeat, from your own weapons. You must go beyond. This is your rule of life as ‘the philosopher has it’: Transcend your limits.
I have to leave you my friend.
Why? To better myself. To be worthy of your friendship. You accept me just as I am. But I can’t accept myself as I am . I am looking for something more. For something better. I will not be the best of friends should I not attain that. I must move beyond myself to be worthy of you. Mediocrity is not for me. It is not in my line.
I have a question for you. Do you accept me as I am or are you afraid of my becoming a version you are not used to see? A version different from you? Are you afraid of me becoming a persons you will also have to surmount ?
I doubt myself. I doubt the fact that I merit to call you a friend. I want to merit your frienship, or at least perish in attempting that.
You must endure my absence, my friend.
We shall be strangers when we reunite or worse enemies. your eyes is a piercing arrow to me. I cannot endure your flames as of now. Should I remain in this state you might not look at me. More Precisely, I will not be capable to look at myself. It is a desire for evolution. It is a desire for growth. A desire for transcendence. I LOATH my weaknesses, I want to transcend them. It is an obligation. A moral obligation.
I leave you, my friend.
Farewell.
