True friends

To be a real friend, you need to be one.

         We are made to live together. Perhaps we derive our very identity and existence from others. Indeed, no man can make this life's journey alone. How privilege are those who have real, true friends around them. Hard times are the real test for true friendship. I admire what Elbert Hubbard, early American writer and Philosopher, said, 'My father always used to say that when you die if you've got five real friends you've had a great life.'
