Perhaps having lesser friends is better

Most of us prefer having plenty of friends where one of the major reason is they are afraid to be lonely. Having lots of friends is not something harmful, but when the two of you are going to be apart, that’s the time where you will feel like torn in pieces. I’ve seen people lost their smile for months when their friends have to leave them for studies or migrate to other countries.
When you own them you feel glad for not being lonely, but when you lose them you will get two times the ‘misery’ instead. This is because both of you have shared a moment of happiness or sadness that pulled the bond of friendship closer.
Storing a friend in your brain means storing the memories with your friend in your brain too. Imagine how many times you will be pierced right through your heart when they have to leave you. I have experienced this once when I move to another place, I stood in front of my friends, speechless and appreciating what we had both done together, prayed for each other, and given out tears.
Though you may deny my statement saying that you could learn how to appreciate you friends through parting, I do not think that the lesson is worth for the torment as one will definitely obtain this lesson sooner or later, it may just arrive anytime.
