Answer:
I support Forster´s opinion in this quotatation.
Explanation:
I would say the same for various reasons: First, a friend is very hard to find, so once you have him/her, you shouldn´t let him/down. In my own experience I´ve had just three or four real friends in my life. They are people I trust, love and care for. Friends are not always together, but you know you can count on them. Sometimes the are near for a period of time, and then they disappear or lose contact for a while and they come back when you need them. I would agree with Forster´s opinion also in the sense that I would hope to have the courage to betray my country.
