On Friendship
Friends mean the world to me, and I rely on them so much. This chapter touches on the different ways a friend has impacts on ones life. "Friends are your needs answered", this quote shows that friends fill the empty space of what you need/want and are there to help guide you towards the path of being filled. A friend is also a feeling, you don't need to have them right at your side every minute of every day to be able to feel the comfort of a friend. You can feel a friend through spirits as well states the Prophet. Although friends are there for support, they cannot fill the emptiness that one feels, they can help with needs, but not what is missing from ones life. I know personally I go to my friends for support with everything and I hope that they have my back with things when I am in a time of need. Reading this passage makes me think back to what I look to my friends for, and if some of the things that I assume they help me with are okay for me to look to them for.

You are absolutely right when you talk about friends helping mend the holes in our lives. You are even more right though, when you say that friends cannot "fill" the holes that we have. Friends can most definitely help us through our tough times, because what we think we need is comfort. What we REALLY need is answers and reflection.
