Hi Alan,
I would say, in short, it is very wise. But ...
But, it is a wise understanding of what friendship is ultimately. Of
course pragmatically it might be a dangerous thing to do to expose
your heart to every (internet) stranger you meet at the drop of a hat
- particularly as a child.
There is a "negotiation" involved in progressively sharing hearts in a
"dance" until you both discover the sharing has happened (mutually).
One sided sharing can be problematic, would you agree ?
