It’s a little thing called friendship, ever heard of it? Friends are great, are they not? They are an infinitely valuable resource. Sure, in fairness, this observation may be a well-trodden territory. It may be trite to say, it may be stale, but it is true. It is a timeless truth. To be lonely is darkness. It is a bleak, unenviable reality that you would not wish on even your worst of enemies. Sometimes friends are all that keep that miserable reality at bay. It is a delicate life we live. Suffering lingers around every corner, as does sadness, injustice and many other negative things. Who knows when these things can pounce. It is always for the best to have friends to help you when you fall prey to them. And inversely, your friends are likely to value the same way.

Healthy relationships, unhealthy ones and those in between have been well-covered on the silver screen.
