Friendship has an extremely important role to play in all our lives. Without real friends, life loses much of its appeal. It becomes dull, lonely and, at times, even quite depressing. True friendship is not just useful. It is, in many ways, the foundation of life, a necessity for human living.
 
Life without love makes no sense whatever. One of the most common forms of love that we find in our lives is found in our friendships. There may be people who have no family or any close relatives, but we would surely pity the person without even one friend. The power of deep friendship is truly remarkable. Think of your closest friends; some of them might be from grade school, others from university years. A true friend is more than someone who just has history with you, but knows you inside and out and loves you for who you are. But, as with all valuable things in life, we need to actively take care of our friendships. To have a friend, we must be a friend.
 
While we are still in the Easter season, it is good to talk about what happens when we make the decision to love our neighbor. We not only give new life to someone else, but our own life is refreshed and renewed.
