Nothing is worse than to be alone in the world, and without having any friends, alone is how you will live your life. Albert Camus once said "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend." Friendships differ between people. Friendships span from individuals, ages, families, neighbors, and cultures. For example, a friendship a person may have with their parents would be different than the friendship they may have with a person of their own age.
