I'm not sure if I can answer to that, objectively.

I've had this good old friend around during the weekend, with whom I feel united by a very strong bond. Incidentally, we were talking about related issues at lunch, with my mother. She enjoys his visits as much as I do. What we share is much, despite both being from different nationalities. And it is not only inheritance, which would not have provided a bond as strong if it was not because we also share very similar personality characters and life values.

Now you'll probably think that these shared character and values come precisely from the fact that we both come from a same or similar family background (class here?). But you will be wrong if you do. As it happens, we met long years ago through one common friend very close to our hearts who came from a very different class background to ours. Someone who learned by himself what we had learned through family education. And who was no less than us of a class of his own. If something, I would argue that he was more than we are.
