“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”
- C.S. Lewis
Exactly! Where would we be in this life without such comforts? Yes comforts. I find it very comforting indeed to be surrounded by books, paintings, music but mostly friends.
It is true that I often have wished I could instantly produce a clone of myself to do all I wish to do and help all those I wish to help. One of the reasons for this is that there are always so many interesting things to do! Another reason is that I so appreciate those friends very dear to me. When they show up with an “S” hidden under their shirt, we are grateful. Being a person with a particularly strong survival instinct I can agree, with Mr. Lewis. I need no one. However what value is there to such a life? It is not really living, merely existing.
“Life is for living” I always say. So bring on the niceties. Moreover keep those we carry in our hearts close by so we may all survive in comfort!
Namaste!
Bianca
P.S. Today photos of the stormy day because Marc LOVES the snow!
