A friend is like a water bottle in a desert journey

A friend.
How about this:


"A friend is someone you can call at 3 AM if you feel that you need to talk."

It is a real deal to have "3 AM friends", to have someone travel across continents to be with you and comfort your pain, to hug and to be hugged. This is a fulfilling relationship.

It is said that if you have someone to call at 3 AM you will live longer.

It is also said that people are spending more time on social media "friendships". Having Facebook friends is great fun but it is not the real deal. A "like" and an emoji are nice but that is not a true connection. We are designed for authenticity.

There is no substitute for hugging and being hugged; ask your mother. Having someone to call at 3 AM is priceless; ask an old man.

Use social media. It is entertaining. But as a connection, it is plastic flowers for a plastic life. Spend time on genuine relationships because they are the real flowers. That's where the fragrance is.

No more virtual. Life is real.
