Meaning
This reads as a definition of friendship by what it is not, a transaction. It points to care, respect, and honor as mutual gifts, and warns against treating a friend as a source of advantage. It lands in moments when a relationship starts to feel useful rather than loyal, and asks us to notice the difference.
