I consider what to be on friendly terms on distance it is possible,
but only to some extent. Communicating only through letters, you will
not see all parties of the person. You will not see, for example, as
he leaves itself(himself), will not hear sharp words. After all hardly
your friend on correspondence will sit down to answer you the letter
when at it a nervous breakdown or he it is simple not in the spirit
of. So it turns out, that we idealise this person, we see such what we
wish to see. Besides not always happens clearly, with what emotional
colouring the person speaks those or other words. After all in the
letter you will not transfer that smile, that shine in eyes with which
you speak, for example "greetings". And in the letter of it not to
transfer. Dialogue happens, but all the same such affinity as at
personal contact it will not turn out. One business when you see
before yourself the monitor screen, and absolutely another, when eyes
of the friend or the favourite person. After all so it is pleasant to
see, how the interlocutor reacts to your words. With what feelings
answers. Most simple “I love you” it is possible to tell absolutely
differently: and it is indifferent, and, putting in these words all
soul. However I think, that the friendship on distance nevertheless is
possible, but in that case when people know each other very well and
have spent together a lot of time, and then they had to be separated
to part on different cities. And if there is a possibility to come to
each other on a visit, then, absolutely remarkably. Then
correspondence strongly enough helps. Helps not to lose that has been
reached at personal contact with person expensive to you. Elena!
