Well anyway, I now started wondering, why humans value friendship? why do we need someone to share our moments with, share our deep secrets, share our time often discussing trivial things of our past?
Frankly, after the game, nope practise, i am too tired to think more, hence the posers.

i think...i think friendship is insanly important, even if it's just in our heads, which it must be since animals don't find "friends" important60% Voted for by Dirty and Broken, Hardhittn63, restore-innocence.
it's important because it keeps us from feeling alone, which, as most know, is vastly important, especially now, when everything seems to be so confusing
take this example- my mom has few friends because of her physical disability. this fact makes her depressed. being depressed only makes her hurt, physically and emotionally, worse. if she had more friends, she would be less depressed, thereby lessening her own pain

Two different perspectivesTruly I don't quite understand the question in it's current form. Because it seems that the question isn't "Why do we as humans need friends?", rather it seems to be "Why do we as humans need emotional ties with other individuals?". That seems to be a question more pertaining to the science aspect of the world and not the emotional aspect where the concept of family, friendship resides. Quite simply if you look at it in a scientific means then it is an evolutionary trait used to improve the chances of survival in our species. However if you consider what kinds of goals, dreams, and events that you consider accomplishments in one's life then you will notice that they are all based at least partially on someone else opinion of it. In other words we do what we do in order to impress others or to be apart of something larger than ourselves. Because without others you tend to feel that whatever you do is insignificant and means little to nothing without the presence of others who's opinion matters to you.Voted for by ForsakenAnimaForAng.

Thanks for that little story. But i feel its a small but strong story which you have narrated about you mom. But listen, ..isn't it natural for people to stay a bit back or aloof from possible difficulties? You can call them selfish or indifferent.
But whats the good lesson here, is that your mom has few friends (hope you mean atleast one and less than 10). In such a case, I feel like saluting the 'few' who are there to talk to your mom. And the message and meaning of friendship is well taken in your little story. Thanks buddy.

But dogs as friends gives the same set of feelings. At bad times, like a financila crises, the four legged cannot much help, but certainly during an emotional crises, they do understand your feelings, i suppose.
If that one friend is going away, than i suggest keep a dog as a pet. I am sure, she will recover if ofcourse she is not zoophobic. It is often seen that relationships has a tendency to fade away.
(ps: hope you are not offended by my suggestion. I just thought how degrading people can be, when even the last person thinks of 'going away', leaving a needy behind. A comparison with dogs was inevitable considering them and human behaviour. )
