“Who’s gonna be there?” This is possibly the most important question to answer before committing to an event of any kind. The reason this question is important is because we are all wired with a need to be with other people. We were made for relationships and we long for them to be meaningful. Friendships are valuable for many reasons. Certainly we enjoy other people’s company and a shared experience with a friend can become life-long memorable moment, but most importantly, having good friends is important because we learn and grow from the influence of other people in our life.
