value of friends
value: many people in Australia think it is good if people can think like this (see more)
At many times is Australia it can be like this:
Someone (e.g. Jack) feels something good towards many people. Jack does many things with these people. Jack knows these people well.
Because of this, Jack thinks like this: If I feel something bad, these people want me to feel something good. If something bad happens to me, these people can do something good for me. These people are not like other people. These people are above all other people.
Because of this, Jack feels something very good.
"I keep in touch with my close friends daily, but my family much less often. I just have more to talk about to my friends."
"All the best moments in the past year have been events that I've gone to with friends."
