Friendship Recession – A rapid decline in friendships is increasing worldwide. >From 1990 to the present, the number of people in the U.S. saying “I have no close friends” has risen fourfold to 12%. Meanwhile, those with 10 or more close friends have dropped by one-third. A similar situation is observed in India’s urban areas – acquaintances are increasing, but genuine friendships are decreasing. Earlier, people used to interact with strangers in cafes, clubs, or events. Now, people remain alone even in crowds. In the U.S., the number of people eating alone has increased by 29% in the last two years. Stanford University has even started a course on friendship. This is not just a social issue, it is a cultural problem. Making time for friendship is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Loneliness is becoming an addiction. If we don’t value friendship, we will lose not only new friends but also old relationships. Research shows: Loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, dementia, and premature death. It is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Friendship is essential for mental, physical, and emotional health. According to Harvard’s 80-year study, the key to true happiness and health is close relationships. Money can be earned, status can change, but a true friend is one who stands by you in every situation. Friendship is a wealth that never depletes. So don’t settle for mere acquaintances – give importance to friends because good friends are true wealth. Nurture friendship, make time, forgive, create memories. Life becomes more beautiful with true friends KR IRS 31225 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
