Today my Facebook page says I have 365 friends. Does this mean if I call on one friend a day I won’t get to the same person until a year later? Do I personally know all these friends?
Who are my friends? I know they don’t all reside on Facebook. Some of them don’t even have computers. If I really do a count, there are probably fewer than ten people who I am in constant communication with. There may be a few more whom I think about from time to time. But that’s it! A face is not a friend and a friend is more than a face.
The only time you’ll know if you have a good lawyer, accountant, doctor, dentist, etc. is when you are in trouble. The same goes with friends. And if I look at my Facebook friends as a community of people who happens to share some connections, I am much less grumpy.
