But it must be undertaken(進(jìn)行) slowly and carried on only if there are sign of interest and action in return.

Another “major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships     38   actions in return. In other words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _  39  _ time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die    40    .?
