Friendship arises out of mere companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden).

It was more like when a man, after a long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake.
