"Everything is easier with friends. They are so important to our sense of well-being. In an interesting experiment, researchers took 34 students to the base of a steep hill with a weighted backpack on each. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends, while others stood alone.
Those students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill than those who stood alone. Eevn more telling was that the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared to them.
Our lives are full of steep hills. Injuries, Illness. Loss. Stress. Financial. A friend can make the hill seem much less steep.
Have you called up a friend recently?"
Very self explanatory.

Note: I can't think of anything else to add at the moment. My friends are few far and between. But they are the quality of friends whom I can truly say, "they are my friends". And them who can say the same about me.
