"If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair." Samuel Johnson Wow, Mr. Johnson is so right in what he says in this quote. I think I'm in trouble. I don't get out of the house much lately. So the chances of me establishing new friendships are minimal at my age. On the other hand, the fact that I am here, sharing experiences and thoughts, helps at least to acquire virtual friends with all the restrictions of these media. Well, if you don't know who Samuel Johnson was, I don't blame you, I didn't know either. As I often say, fortunately, today we have at the touch of a finger or voice command, the answer. Suffice it to say, for now, he was the author of the first dictionary of the English language, back in the 18th century. Image by Raka C. on Pixabay

Good! I haven't read his poems and works, but as per your comment, I'm going to give it a look. Greetings
He was quite a personality for the world of writers indeed. And you are very right, friends are very useful, but in this case it is quite difficult for me to find them, and it is not that I am looking for them, because after the last time I lost about 6 friends of 20 years that we knew each other by a great difference of thought, the truth is that I question a lot about having new friends. Especially because at 55 years old it becomes quite difficult to find friends, but for that we have virtuality, in some way it can be shared here, that shows a part of who is who. There is also the discord to talk, but the problem I have with all this is that it consumes a lot of time and the truth is that in my case I am busy all day being a slave to my work, because if I don't do it, I don't pay the bills that They allow me to stay alive.
Friends are treasures that are hard to find, and even harder to take care of.
