True friendship offers the kind of intimate camaraderie known as Phileo love, C.S. Lewis describes this in his book The Four Loves. It's sad to watch people insist eros is the measure of intimacy when nothing could be further from the truth. True friendship is the rarest and greatest among the four loves when the eternal reality of agape upholds it. It lasts forever. "Greater love has no man than this...that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
