El filósofo nos enseña a escuchar a los adversarios –hábiles detectores de nuestras debilidades– y a desconfiar de nuestro amor propio –el defecto más útil para los aduladores–, pues solo así sabremos distinguir la verdadera amistad: aquella en la que encontraremos virtud en la honestidad y deleite en el diálogo. Un bien exquisito que exige espacio, tiempo y cuidado The philosopher teaches us to listen to our adversaries—keen detectors of our weaknesses—and to be wary of our self-love—the most useful flaw for flatterers—for only then can we recognize true friendship: one in which we find virtue in honesty and delight in dialogue. A rare treasure that demands space, time, and care.
