You would want in your life a few confidants. This is the smallest category of friends. In your whole life, they will not be many. If in your lifetime, you have a few people with whom you can be totally transparent, you are a rich person. A confidant requires no cover-up, you can be real. They are your inner circle.
If you do not have an inner circle, you are like a hot water tank without a pressure valve and you're gonna explode because you have no place of release, so you will explode in the hands of a prostitute in a hotel room or some diabolical situation, spending your money for somebody to talk to because you fail to accessorize your life with the simplicity of friendship.
When I say inner circle,I'm not just referring to those you hang out with regularly or go clubbing with, I'm referring to those people in your life that you can come totally clean with. Those that feed you and not just need you.
Show me a man with no friends and I'll show you a man about to explode or implode for the lack of something that you cannot write a cheque to get and all of your degrees will not afford you.
Who are your confidants? If you do not have them, you are so very poor and we have gotta get you out of debt before your soul goes into emotional bankruptcy, because it is possible my friends to be a public success and a private failure.
