Question

Friendship can’t be measured （测量） nor can it be weighed. We stopped a few people on the street to find out what part friendship played in their lives. Here is what they said.

My best friend Mark and I really enjoy spending time playing basketball every evening. Even over 10 years after college, we still get the same amount of joy when playing basketball together.—James, 34

The importance of friendship in my life is more than what I can put into words. My childhood friends recently pulled me through hard times when my father died. —Gemina, 38

I didn’t realize the importance of friendship until it was too late. I didn’t keep in touch with friends, but now I have realized that life is much better with friends around. —Tom, 42

(Are we all learning something from Tom’s lesson in life?)

We all should wake up and realize the true importance of friendship because friends accept you for what you are, not for what you can be. —Jane, 21

(Jane has hit the nail on the head, do you think so?)

My friends and I love sharing a beer each weekend. Everything in the world can change but not our dates with our beers. For me, the importance of friendship lies in enjoying the time we spend together with nothing to worry about. —a policeman (who was on duty at the corner of the street)
