My own view is that friendship is essential to our becoming who we are.

Hermann Hesse -
What hurts this person is not the occurrence itself, for another person might not feel oppressed by this situation at all.

As I stood alone and forsaken, and the power of the sea and the battle of the elements reminded me of my own nothingness, and on the other hand, the sure flight of the birds recalled the words spoken by Christ: Not a sparrow shall fall on the ground without your Father: then, all at once, I felt how great and how small I was; then did those two mighty forces, pride and humility, happily unite in friendship.
