“For many years, I have been organizing a summer camp for children. Some of them come from an orphanage and difficult family situations. Towards the end of camp, I asked a 9-year old boy what he enjoyed best. Without hesitation he said: “I finally found great friends here!”

We are social beings who need each other. Our biggest fear is to stay back all by ourselves. Lonely people are rarely happy. The worst tragedies that we encounter are always connected with the loss of someone. Healing of the soul and recovery happens in the community.  

The Bible encourages us to seek, in addition to our relationship with God, also friendships in the human realm so we can share our life with each other. 

 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
