And （iii） whatever pursuit it is that
constitutes existence for a man or that makes his life worth living, he desires to share
that pursuit with his friends. Hence some friends drink or dice together, others practise
athletic sports and hunt, or study philosophy, in each other's company; each sort spending
their time together in the occupation that they love best of everything in life; for
wishing to live in their friends’ society, they pursue and take part with them
in these occupations as best they can.1
