Day 36: Friends and Relations

64:1-65:32

There are a couple points in this reading that could apply to a friendship as well as a relation.

The first is the idea that we should not condemn or criticize someone when they are helping someone else. Mary Baker Eddy listed pride, envy, and jealousy as the reasons.

The next point Mary Baker Eddy says about marriage is that honesty and virtue ensures stability. A good test of a friendship or relationship (even a business relationship) is to ask: are both parties asking and expecting honesty and virtue on all ways. How do you react when you think it is otherwise?
