Some friendships are worth keeping. This may mean some sacrifices along the way, but true friends are hard to find. We make many new friends everyday, and many more acquaintances, but life is more than mere passing acquaintanceship. To live life to the fullest, we need a small number of trusted, intimate friends whom we know we can count on. This number may vary from one to three or four, for most people. To build such friendships, we need a certain investment of time and effort. But once we find someone with whom we know we can make this journey, it is certainly worth this extra effort to cultivate the friendship.
