During the scamdemic social distancing became a big thingy.

Shoot my life was built on social distancing.

I would add that you mustn’t confuse friendship as those you socialize with.

That’s way too low a bar to define friendship.

Acquaintances and associates are good things but are not to be confused with friends.

This may not be the forum to quote the philosophy of Muhammad Ali but I will any way.

I remember he went on a rant that about how true friends were so rare.

And if you had one true friend consider yourself fortunate.

I remember the scene from the movie "Meatballs" where Bill Murray's character, Tripper, is at the bus terminal looking for one of the campers, Rudy Gerner. In talking to him, Rudy makes the statement about his fellow campers and hut-mates, "Well, I just want them to like me." Bill Murray's response is classic: "Why? Look, if you make one good friend a summer, you’re doing pretty good.”

My life pattern has been, "Look, if you make one good friend in your life, you're doing pretty good."
