A sense of connection and belonging is a key part of being human, and there are boundless benefits from having close friends who know everything about you, can help you out in a pinch, can be there with you through all the joys and hardships of life, and for whom you can be such a friend in turn. But making and keeping friends becomes increasingly difficult when we become adults with busy careers, family responsibilities, and dispersed locations.

«Sin amigos nadie querría vivir, aunque tuviera todos los otros bienes», escribió Aristóteles. Sin embargo, si bien la amistad es desde tiempos inmemoriales una de las aspiraciones fundamentales de la vida, no solemos reflexionar sobre su naturaleza. ¿Cómo se hace un amigo? ¿Por qué algunas personas nos caen bien al instante? ¿Puede la amistad sobrevivir en la distancia? ¿Se aprende? ¿Es cultural? ¿Ha de ser recíproca? ¿Puede darse entre padres e hijos? ¿Cuándo y por qué se acaba? ¿Qué pasa cuando se mezcla con el deseo?

When Amy Daughters reconnected with her old pal Dana on Facebook, she had no idea how it would change her life. Though the two women hadn’t had any contact in 30 years, it didn’t take them long to catch up—and when Amy learned that Dana’s son Parker was doing a second stint at St. Jude battling cancer, she was suddenly inspired to begin writing the pair weekly letters.

I guess this could give future students a look into what life could be like. It could be used as a guide to not follow in my footsteps.

Just as there are three dimensions of the physical world (height, width, and depth), there are three dimensions of the interpersonal world - power, love, and mindfulness. How well we learn to navigate them directly corresponds to how well we live our lives and how happy and fulfilled we feel.
