Friendship is one of the greatest treasures of this life. Unfortunately true friendships are one of the hardest things to a achieve. Humans are social creatures, and we create new relationships with each new interaction. That does not mean we need treat all relationships equally. If a person tried to focus the same amount of energy into each relationship they would fond themselves drained, and unable to maintain any steady relationship.
This is why we must be careful when we choose friends. Many people have many friends, but I have found it better to have a select few, and this small group is why I have been able to maintain a strong bond with my friends despite time and distance. It is through them I discovered that it is not similarities that bind us together but our differences. These differences act to balance the strong personalizes and force us to consider other. That is the key.
The key to live can be found by examining your closest relationship, the ones a person treasures. MY friends make me look at the world from different viewpoints so that I never stand in a place too long and become stuck. They make me reexamine my decisions and challenge me to face my own fears. Friendship is a a key that can open and door.
