No, they have to do with all of society. So many people surround themselves with what they think are friends. But when push comes to shove they realize that they really can't count on them. I always ask myself, if I was stuck on a dangerous corner in a dangerous neighbourhood at 3:00 a.m. who could I depend on for a ride? Or if I was arrested and had one phone call, who would I call to bail me out? Who can I count on in a crisis? Those are real friends. And sadly there's very few of those people in the world today.
