Friendship

The touching story-line in Shrek the Third is
about a person next in line for the kingship, yet
he has no desire to have the job.
Hed rather live in comfortable surroundings with
his friends. Friendships are so important for a
good life.

Friendships are more important than position or
power. These never lead to true satisfaction
rather they only disappoint and leave one empty.
The following message about friendship reminds
us of some old stories of the power of friends
and it points us to the only true friend we can
count on.
4
Sometimes friends care for us and look after us.
? They take us on their journeys and adventures
and put our needs and the honor of our friendship
above their own needs. ? And if were really
lucky, they may bail us out of trouble weve
gotten ourselves into.
5
Other times, good friends empathize with our
trouble and bring comfort to us. ? This is
what friends do when they hear about all of your
troubles.
