Friends and family are important! Not only do they love us, but they continually remind us to love them. Friendship is Giving and Getting. If the balance is off, so will be the relationship.
Having friends from many different classes within our society, and from different societies across the world, I have learnt a lot about friends.
It is a challenging lifestyle for any one who does not trust friends and lives in isolation. They think the isolation is protecting themselves, when it is really putting them in danger! If there is no giving and getting going on, one gets stuck, often in crazy poverty-like situations - and they don't know how to get help (often even rejecting available help).
Do you know of anyone who tries to isolate themselves? Take the first steps at becoming their friend. It may take longer than average (even years), and it may take a LOT of giving on your side, but eventually it will balance out and you will have another great, loyal lifelong friend!
