Friendship Pyramid

True friendship is a rare, pure bond. The Arabic saying proclaims that “impossibilities are three: the ghoul, the phoenix, and the loyal friend”. At its most sublime, it merges two souls into one, or as the philosopher Al-Kindy said : “A friend is you, though in another body”. Not all friends can rise to this ideal, though. Most of them will take their place on a spectrum from stranger to soulmate.

In this pyramid, we illustrate these friendship levels. The words are organized from bottom to top according to both the degree of intimacy and the number of friendships a person typically nurtures during his life. The higher we move on the pyramid, the fewer the friends and the stronger the bond. The light source at the top symbolizes how the journey towards finding one’s soulmate is akin to attaining spiritual enlightenment and achieving a state of transcendent bliss.
