It would seem, therefore, that we ought to call in friends
readily on occasion of good fortune, because it is noble to be
ready to do good to others: but on occasion of bad fortune, we
should do so with reluctance; for we should as little as possible
make others share in our ills; on which principle goes the

occasion for calling them in is when with small trouble or
annoyance to themselves they can be of very great use to the
person who needs them.
