Such disputes occur when pleasure is the motive of the friendship on the
lover's side and profit on the side of the beloved, and when they no longer each possess
the desired attribute. For in a friendship based on these motives, a rupture occurs as

not permanent; so that these friendships are not permanent either. But friendship based on
character is disinterested, and therefore lasting, as has been said.1
