Four reasons for friendship

  1. Networking. We need collaborators who can align their abilities and energies with ours.
  2. Reassurance. We're always on the verge of disgrace or disappointment. We need true friends to give us a necessary and accurate sense of their humiliations and insights with which we can judge ourselves and our lives more compassionately.
  3. Fun. The pressure to guard our dignity, be serious and pass as a mature adults can become onerous. That's why we need to be silly with some friends.
  4. Clarifying our minds. Something is wrong,  but we can't pin it down. The thinking friend assists us with knowing ourselves.
