Why is it so important to us that we have friends?

Answer 1

We have friends so we won't be profoundly lonely.

Answer 2

because they r the ones we choose depending on our character, we find people like us, and that helps discovering ourselves. Moreover u learn a lot from your friends because they are close and always open to you, they share life with you and are always on your side to support you. Your family also does it, but you don't choose your family, and your family would do that without any expectation because they've accepted you the way you are. Some very best friends are those who in time turn out to be almost someone from the family on whom you can always trust..thanks for real friends

Answer 3

They broaden your mind. Friends give us a different perspective on life. Friends also let us know our weaknesses and give us suggestions on how to improve.

And friends give us emotional, spiritual, and sometimes, monetary support.

And a friend can watch your back, provide free entertainment, and help you pick up women.

-----------------------------------------
There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
"For whom am I toiling," he asked,
"and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?"
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!

Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

~King Soloman (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12(NIV))

Answer 4

Because friends [good friends] ARE important in our lives. We need their support and friendship.

Answer 5

Because they are the people that we choose in life to associate with. It's not like family, where you don't have a choice. We sift through the people in society and pick out the ones that are on our wavelength.

Answer 6

It is simple. It's in our gregarious nature. Animals in general need to live as a community in order to survive. This is the basics. Human beings need to communicate, which is in their nature, and what distinguishes them from other animals is that they are aware of their individuality. Nevertheless, they cannot live on their own, they need to trust and cherrish others, even when that is deviant. Friends are the ones who allow you to learn more about yourself, who recycle your internal energy, and help you find the boundaries of your individuality.

Answer 7

Because a friend will be there when relatives, spouses, teachers, preachers, associates, business partners, gov'ts, churches, etc, have all forsaken you, for the love of money.

Enmity: I will forsake you, the city, your fathers ... Law
Friend: I will never leave thee nor forsake thee... Grace

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 8

Look at the world around us. We are used to advertising, sugar coating, and people basically brown-nosing. We need people in our lives who will accept us for what we are and tell it like it is straight up. They help keep us grounded and give us the love and support we need and thus we give it back to them in return.

Answer 9

I think that as a part of being human we were given the need to love and be loved. That is what our friends are for...to love us even through our faults.
