Lifeline


Friends are for life - goes the title of a Sunday Times article today.

It reports that the role of friendship is often under-valued and under-appreciated, and that it actually "has a bigger impact on our psychological well-being than family relationships."

The studies show that having friends helps people cope better with life and its illnesses. Ok, that's cool.

Friendship has a greater effect on our health than a spouse or family member. Hmm.

People with more friends tend to live longer. Wow.. True or not?

Anyway, we all know friends help make our lives better, but longer? That'll be a nice bonus :)

So, literally. Friends are for life.
