地球上将近有六十亿人口，我们可以拥抱的人有多少？可以牵手的人有多少？可以讲话但不能碰触的人有多少？擦身而过又是多少？有时候真是觉得，可 以进到自己内心的人，如果用手来数，是不是一只手就够用了呢？如果可以选择，我宁愿退化变成猴子，一堆一堆的依偎在树上、躺着一起晒太阳、吹风、看人。我 发现人际的心灵里有许多不同的空间，具体一点说像是不同的楼层！
一楼的是「店面朋友」，通常二十句固定的话就够用。例如：你好吗？吃饭没？去那里？好漂亮！还好啦！没什么！就这样！每个人看来都很平稳、安定、满足和成熟。
二楼是「客厅朋友」，可以坐在一起泡泡茶八卦一下。政治经济、新的商机、最近的媒体新闻、乐透彩券，大家一起哈啦打发时间，可以绕过每一个人内心里的孤独，然后觉得自己好幸福。
「厨房朋友」在三楼，就是可以剖腹谈心的那种。这类朋友如果是女性族群，就会有一堆笑声或几把眼泪来做收场，然后觉得自己充分被对方所了解，人生一点也不寂寞。
四楼是「卧室朋友」，可以亲密、触摸的朋友。有些卧室开着传统的日光灯，一切依照传统的规矩来进行。有些卧室总是把灯关上，可以自由地幻想和投射，各自 编自己的梦。也有很多装进口灯的。不管装哪一种灯，通常卧室都具有一种隐藏性的魔术电力，懂得怎么用开关的人，你的室友就是「伴」，常把开关开得不是时候 的人，那个伴就有可能变成「绊」喔！老天爷最聪明的地方，就是教你做这种魔术的主人。
顶楼的阳台一般是空在那里，没有被设定要怎么样？这种 朋友属于「缘分朋友」。有时飞来一只鸟，有时吹来一根草，堆积一些泥土，落下几颗种子，你不知道它在什么时候会开什么花？当然没有期望要结果实。也许一阵 雨来滋润了心灵，也许刮起风吹乱了寸心。无意中闯上来的人，有人走得快，有人走得慢，这个屋顶看起来也许是空空的，但是你知道它不是空的，它装满了「曾 经」。这些曾经偶尔会在夜空下跑出来陪你，也会帮你记录岁月，它们也许就是你用来拉近儿孙距离的话题，这些曾经会使眼角的皱纹回忆出当年的心情而变成许多 故事。
我习惯用一秒钟穿过店面，两秒钟经过客厅，三分钟停在厨房一下，四小时在卧室里睡一觉，花五天的时间在屋顶等待，等待老天爷给我生命中带来的惊奇和美。有的时候当眼睛装满感恩的泪时，就会忘记六十亿人口的事，而常常一点点小小的感动，又会使我觉得好象可以拥有一切、拥有这整栋楼的朋 友和心情。
还有一个朋友是「自己」，他不属于任何层楼，他一直都陪伴着我们，认识他、接纳他、如何跟他相处这些是我们一生的功课。
一个普通的朋友从未看过你哭泣。
一个真正的朋友有双肩让你的泪水湿尽。
一个普通的朋友不知道你父母的姓氏。
一个真正的朋友有他们的电话在通讯簿上。
一个普通的朋友会带瓶葡萄酒参加你的派对。
一个真正的朋友会早点来帮你准备，为了帮你打扫而晚点走。
一个普通的朋友讨厌你在他睡了后打来。
一个真正的朋友会问为什么现在才打来。
一个普通的朋友找你谈论你的困扰。
一个真正的朋友找你解决你的困扰。
一个普通的朋友对你的罗曼史感到好奇。
一个真正的朋友可以威胁你说出来。
一个普通朋友在拜访时像客人一样，
一个真正朋友会打开冰箱自己拿东西。
一个普通朋友在吵架后就认为友谊已经结束，
一个真正的朋友明白当你们还没打过架就不叫真正的友谊
一个普通的朋友期望你永远在他身边陪他，
一个真正的朋友期望他能永远陪在你身旁！
用最成熟的心态来选择自己的未来无论哪种朋友，在相处时，请你珍惜！也许他会进入店面，走过客厅，穿过厨房，来到卧室？

Friends of Each Floor
There are nearly 6,000,000,000 people on the earth, but how many of them we can hug? How many of them we can hold their hands? How many of them we can talk to but not touch? How many of them we have passed through? Sometimes,we wonder that we can count on the fingers of one hand the people can go deeply into our internal mind. If chance is offered me, I would rather degenerate to be a monkey.So we can share the sunshine, enjoy the soft wind and watch what human beings is doing together,relying on the trees and lying on the grass. I realize that there are many different spaces in the interpersonal mind.In a concrete way, it is like the different floor of a builing!
On the first floor is “the shop front friend”.Usually, 20 fixed phrases are sufficient For example: How are you?Have a meal? Where are you going? How nice! Fortunately! Nothing! Like like this! Everyone looks like very peaceful, quiet, satisfied and maturial.
On the second floor is “the friends of sitting-room”,we can have a tea and gossip together. We spend time together on taking about the politics, economy, new opportunity in business,latest news, Lotto lottery ticket.We can foget the loneliness in the bottom of our heart,then feel that we have achieved the great happiness.
On the third floor is “the friends of kitchen”,who we can talk plainly to. If this kind of friends are feminine, the talks will be ended with laugher or tears. Then we feel that we are understood fully by each other and life is not lonely at all.
“The bedroom friend”, who is intimate and touchable lives on the fourth floor of the building,.In some bedrooms,the traditional daylight lamp is always buring,and everything goes in accordance with the traditional custom. Other bedrooms are always turned off the lamp, we may exert our fantasy and reflection freely, having your own dream.. Also, some bedrooms are decoraed witth many lamps imported. No matter what kind of lamp the rooms have, there is always a potential electric power of magic in the bedroom. The person, who understand how to control the light, can be your “companion”.However, the person, who switches the light on the unappropriate occasions,is likely to be “stumbling block” in your life. The God is intelligently good at making you the master this magic power.
The attic balcony is generally emptied there. Nothing knows its future.This kind of friends belongs to “the destined friend”. Sometimes there is a flying bird, a blade of blowing grass, piles of soil, drops of seeds, and you have no idear of when it will bloom and what kind of flower you will see ? Certainly,it bears no fruit we expect . Perhaps a shower has moistened the mind,and perhaps a breeze has blowed the heart. Some people rush in this place unexpectedly . Some walk quickly, some slowly. This roof seems like empty, but you know that it is not true.It is ladened with your old time, which occasionally will accompany you at nighttime. These old time, which perhaps is the topic you use to get closer to descendant, will also help you to write down to book of your life. These may also once recall your eye's wrinkle of that mood and become many stories.
I am accustomed to leave one second for passing through the shop front, two seconds for living rooms, three minutes for the kitchen, four hours sleeping in the bedroom, five days waiting on the roof.I hope that God brings some surprise and beauty to my life. Sometimes，when the eyes are packed with the tear of gratitude, we will forget that there are 6,000,000,000 people on the earth. But some little touching storie makes us feel that we are the owner of everything, friends and the moods of this entire building.
Another kind of friend is “myselves”, he does not belong to any floor of the building. He accompanies us all the time.To know him, accept him, how to get along with him are the lesson of our whole life.
