From Seneca

"No good thing is pleasant without friends to share it," he said. Impressive considering he, Seneca, was a Roman philosopher. Who would've guessed that ancient Romans would rank friendship so high in their set of values. Most people would say this special bond plays a stronger role in modern times. In my life this is certainly true because my family is no longer near. Regardless of the friends vs. family debate, it's important to have trust, support, and others to share with close to home.
