When I went through my difficult time recently, all my friends rallied around me to assuage my sorrow. Under some circumstances, I have not been able to keep in touch with them always, but they all came out to cheer me up when I needed their support. I am eternally grateful for their friendship.
So, why do we sometimes neglect our friendship? We have been busy at work, study, and family life. We have many excuses not to reach out to our friends unless there are some catastrophic events in life. My recent life-alerting event was a wake-up call for me to reevaluate my priorities in life and hearten myself the importance of friendship to me.
As Clarence the Angel says in my all-time favorite movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”,
No man is a failure who has friends.
