So, when no common values are shared, this isn't friendship - it's co-existence. =)

"Perfect friendship is the friendship of men who are good, and alike in virtue: they wish well to each other for the sake of the other."
Interpretation: True friendship is grounded in shared virtue (shared moral values).
