“True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. 
Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island… 
to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.”

Our need for social connection and belonging is one of the most crucial needs we have. Researchers have concluded that those who maintain active social lives live longer, get sick less and are generally happier. Even the recovery from illness and surgery has proven to be faster when someone is actively socially engaged. Laughter truly is the best medicine. Do not suppress or hold back your laughter. As I always say, the angels dance whenever sincere laugher choruses in the air.
