It seems to me that you can’t have too many friends. So it follows that anything you can do to make friends (and whenever possible not make enemies) is a virtue.
I occasionally get a sense on this site that there are quite a few folks who think people are generally a pain in the ass and not worth the effort. Or that making friends is difficult or painful or something, or just too hard. Or that being alone is an example of bad luck.
I don’t get it.
Making friends is easy and it is like making an investment. Someday, you may need one of those friends, and it would be good to have them. All you have to do to make the investment is…be a friend.
Is it that some people believe you can have too many friends?
