“…Third, interpersonal connection can develop over time into political friendship founded on emotional and intellectual connection, trust, and respect (see Costigliola, ; van Hoef, ; Smith, ).

“…While in established approaches friendship is often viewed in instrumental cost-benefit utility-maximizing terms, this is not how people generally relate to friendship at an individual level, where it instead holds deep emotional significance. Indeed, as Cicero put it: ‘if the mutual love of friends were to be removed from the world, there is no single house, no single state that would go on existing’ (quoted in Smith, 2011: 13). Explicitly linking friendship to ontological security Berenskoetter (2010) therefore views ‘friendship as a particular and morally significant relationship … [that] … strengthens moral certainty and the sense of what is “the right thing to do”… friendship matters because it moulds and reinforces “identity”, or the sense of Self’.…”
