Because I think its all about Love... and I guess some others do as well:

“Jesus does not merely talk the language of friendship, he lives out his life and death as a friend and he commands that his followers do the same.  The commandment to love as Jesus has loved may be the most radical words of the Gospel because it claims that the love that enabled Jesus to lay down his life for his friends is not unique to him.  This love can be replicated and embodied over and over again by his followers.  To keep Jesus’ commandment is to enact his love in our own lives…if we take Jesus’ commandment to love seriously, and if we long to give love freely and generously without counting the cost and without wondering and worrying about who is on the receiving end of our limitless love….  What counts most is the embodiment of God’s love in the world, not the character of those who receive this love.”

Cited from New Testament scholar Gail O’Day, in a sermon given by Rev. Beth Neel on the "Theology of Friendship",  Sunday May 13th. 

Bass's Words

“There's a part of every living thing that wants to become itself. The tadpole into the frog, the chrysalis into the butterfly, a damaged human being into a whole one. That is spirituality.” 

- Ellen Bass

Henry's List.

In the early-1930s, as he wrote what would become his first published novel — Henry Miller wrote a list of 11 commandments, to be followed by himself. 

The list read as follows.

COMMANDMENTS (1932-1933) 

1. Work on one thing at a time until finished.
2. Start no more new books, add no more new material to "Black Spring."
3. Don't be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.
4. Work according to Program and not according to mood. Stop at the appointed time!
5. When you can't create you can work.
6. Cement a little every day, rather than add new fertilizers.
7. Keep human! See people, go places, drink if you feel like it.
8. Don't be a draught-horse! Work with pleasure only.
9. Discard the Program when you feel like it—but go back to it next day. Concentrate. Narrow down. Exclude.
10. Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
11. Write first and always. Painting, music, friends, cinema, all these come afterwards.
