People hate to be used and abused, but love to be admired and needed. We love going out and doing things by ourselves, but also love going out together with family and friends. At times, it’s a love-hate relationship. Sometimes we want family and friends around, and other times we want them far away from us.

Family and friends are an important part of our lives. They are what we live for, really! Without them, we’d be empty and lost.

However, in this busy world we live in, it’s easy to get so lost in it all that we don’t have time for anything else other than work or ourselves. Our work, our wants, our needs and desires take precedence. Priorities shift.

We get so involved in trying to make a difference in this world to help our family, our friends, and ourselves that we work our lives to death. At the end of the day, we go home and expect our family and friends to be there for us only to find out they’re not. We lose the ones we say we care about either through death or separation, and then realize we should have spent more time with them enjoying life together.

Some people say they don’t need others, but they are lying to themselves. In the end, even those who say they want to be left alone yearn for family and friends. Our lives revolve around others.

Imagine being the only person on earth? It would be fun for a while, but eventually you’d want someone else to share your life with, to talk to, argue with and enjoy life. Family and friends are precious. Enjoy them while you have them. Put them first and everything else second.
